Menard Distribution Center

There's a department for everyone, it's important to find your fit. It's tough physical work, but anyone can do it if they try. Work hard, as a team, for a common goal. Good pay, benefits are survivable, and profit sharing every year is nice. Good job security and reliable hours.

Management is hit or miss. Some supervisors and assistant department managers are great, others are so bad where everyone decent leaves or quits. If you get a strong leader, either follow them if they get moved, or move up. If you're a reliable, strong worker - either move up, or you'll need to pick up the slack of the sub par employees that management often enables.  Change is very slow, and most departments are sexist.

I made a lot of lasting friendships, really grew into a strong leader, and loved training and being a positive impact in a lot of lives. Good with the bad, this job really is what you make it.

I'd recommend working somewhere else to anyone and everyone I like even a little bit... Even my enemies I'd recommend to go elsewhere! This company sucks up every last bit of your time and energy. They work you like dogs and never make much needed changes to better the quality of life for the team. Management is extremely lazy, there's a few good ones that bust their butt and try to do good, but those get overshadowed by the numerous other managers that are not only lazy, but innapropriate, unsafe, inconsistent, favoritism issues, the list goes on. Honestly, do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to work! 

They only teach you Certain things, for example as a mechanic your not allowed to learn about plc’s because they know when you leave that is one of the things a lot of other employers look for. It is a end of the road job, and they will hire just about anyone off the street with zero knowledge, but if you make friends with the right people you can get away with just about anything and not know a thing. The only way for advancement is to put your time in there, they would rather promote someone very unqualified that’s been there for 5 years than promote someone who is very knowledgeable about the equipment that’s been there for 1 year. If you need a job, till you find another, perfect place to work. 

I worked at the distribution center for over 10 years. Raises were laughable at best. .10-.20 cents every 6 months assuming you are approved. Management in Eau Claire cares little for anywhere else. You are given a task, limited resources, time, and the wrong tools. "Do what you can they say." Honestly that seems to be the attitude of all higher management. If you are part-time, you are treated like less than nothing. Turnover rate is abyssal, now hiring sign out front of the DC for 2 years! AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is good, but your soul leaves you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No proper trainer, they don't care if you're sick and they have a lot of rules if you need a day off.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Rude people, they have "favorites" and they lack empathy.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Your soul dies a little everyday you clock in and heaven forbid you're 30 Sec late. Even though you don't take your paid breaks to make up for it.

50 hour weeks almost all year long, not worth the money. IPS is nice, but a once a year check doesn't make up for a company that doesn't care. Store employees received a $2/hour increase because they are "frontline" while the distribution center has been carrying the company this past year to keep shelves full. While you need a mask to get into building, nobody enforces them once inside. We are more at risk in the DC than employees in stores yet we get nothing.. with hundreds of employees you would think management would care a little more about our safety.

Dont work here! Management is a joke! didn't really have a problem with anyone there, besides 2nd shift transportation assistant manager .. horrible boss, they definitely pick favorites there! There equipment is old and garbage, breaks all the time, then they blame you! They talk about how safety is number one all the time but would bring up stuff wouldn't care! Very stressful never called in! Always came in on any shift if they needed help! They lost a good employee. 

The job is exactly what you would expect it to be. You throw boxes onto an assembly line all day. The warehouse is hot and muggy especially if you have to work on the top floors like I did. Management was actually very good but it doesn’t matter because you’re working by yourself all day. The job made me question my sanity doing the same stuff everyday is not good for the mental health
