Handbook[edit]

I have a copy of the handbook, any specific parts in here that you'd like me to look up?Andrew

Just make sure the text, especially of the 'Company History' section isn't lifted from the handbook. Thanks for your effort. Cheers, Tomer^talk 10:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I've checked my copy of 'Growth With Menards - A Team Member Information Booklet' (printed 06/2004). The afore mentioned booklet is not copyrighted, but does include the following disclaimers:

'This brochure is a unilateral statement by MENARD, Inc. of company policies and procedures and is not intended to create and express or implied contractual obligations. The contents are designed and should be used solely for informational purposes.'

'..This MENARDS Team Member Information Booklet and the policies and procedures contained herein supercede any and all prior Team Member information booklets or brochures and the policies and procedures contained therein.'

'..The company will not, and Team Members should not, interpret any verbal or written statements, including those in this booklet, or other policies, practicies or procedures as altering 'at will' status or providing expressed or implied contractual obligation.'

I would hence conclude the the information within, in regards to documents published under such disclaimers by Menard, Inc., are not copyrighted material as of 06/2004.

Quotes of wisdom at bottom of page in advertisements[edit]

Groceries[edit]

They are moving into the grocery business. This is no joke. --Kalmia 16:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

A Menards by my house sells 'edutainment' computer games. They were not very fun though. :p -- 18:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Midwest Manufacturing[edit]

I notice there's no mention of Midwest Manufacturing, which is essentially a manufacturing division of Menard's (making roof and floor trusses, nails, screws, treated lumber, prehung doors, etc); I think it's definitely something worth including in this article or an article of its own Jowe27 03:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC) Free download pokemon thunder yellow zip programs.

It's not just Midwest..I think Countertops over there is John's too. I may be wrong tho. Just make sure whatever you decide to include is verifiable. Tomer^talk 16:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

From my research, despite the 'coincidental' location that the two or three (if you also consider Countertops, Inc.) share in Eau Claire, WI, there is no explicit link between any of them that can be verified. In light of this, I do not believe that the articles should be merged at this point in time until they chose to disclose any relationships between the two or three. Nbuuck 22:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC).

I agree with Nbuuck 24.7.217.221 00:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

In light of the decision in a debate regarding the deletion of the article 'Midwest Manufacturing,' and citations provided therein establishing a discernible relationship between the two entities (Menard, Inc. and Midwest Manufacturing), I believe that the two should be merged. Nbuuck 00:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC).

Midwest Manufacturing is without a doubt a division of Menard's

Well, I asked a brother of mine who works for Menards, and he says that Midwest Manufacturing, or MM, is, indeed, related to Menards. He said that whenever an employee of MM walked into the store he works in, the MM employee acted like the company WAS part of Menards. So, with this new information having been given to me, I support the merging of the MM article with the Menards one. In fact, maybe have the MM article redirect to the Menards one. 24.15.113.196 04:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

It is not a division of the Menards stores

Midwest Manufacturing is RELATED to Menards, but is not part of the stores. Basically there is a holding company above both the Menards stores and Midwest Manufacturing and some other smaller holdings as well. They should NOT be merged as they are separate, but related. They are run completely as separate companies. Countertops shares some ownership (John owns some of coutertop) but is not part of the holding company. Lummox 19:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)M

If you go by the stand point that John owns it then it should be part of Menards, then shouldn't there be mention that he also owns Menards Engine Group. This is a company also under Menards Inc umbrella that makes racing equipment (testing equipment, tires, and engines). And by this same logic shouldn't they remove the Lucky Charms entry and put it under General Mills? Midwest manufacturing is not Menards, they have a different budget, they have there own management staff, there own pay roll, etc.--68.117.99.119 (talk) 06:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Town of Union[edit]

This is the true headquarters site of Menards. Is it worth mentioning? --Imhungry 18:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Nope, even the company documents all say Eau Claire. That is their mailing address and their corporate identity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lummox (talk • contribs) 16:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

But what is the zipcode for the mailing address? A company I worked for once identified with the biggest city in the area, although they were really in a small town. They did this for recognition purposes.173.20.4.42 (talk) 12:18, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

First 2-Story Menards in 2006?[edit]

The article says the first two story Menards opened in 2006 in MN. The Menards at 8311 W. North Avenue, Melrose Park, Illinois is two stories. I've been shopping at this store since at least 2000. Here is a picture.

Brands Carried at Menards[edit]

It is stated that Trex is one of the brands carried by Menards. This is not correct. Cbaver81 (talk) 04:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

DJ Robert huh?[edit]

What's up with that part in history in 2008. Is that just a simple employee or do they mean Disc Jockey? Allmightyduck (talk) 12:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Menards only has cheap crapt that won't last, get smart and buy better that will last and work much better. Mark-up from Chinese crapt is one of highest in retail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.126.168.225 (talk) 22:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Free Advertising? Bias?[edit]

Parts of this article sounds very suspiciously like it was written by a member of the Menard's team to me.. the part about concrete blocks being made by them, and now they are considering going with someone else, is followed by what seems to be a totally unrelated and media-friendly blurb. Am I the only one who thinks this reads more like an ad than an _encyclopedia_ entry?

'Conflicts' Section[edit]

The tone of the first paragraph of the 'Conflicts' section suggests (rightly or wrongly) that it was written by someone with an axe to grind with Menards. It sounds like it was written by someone with inside knowledge of the company's disciplinary procedures, which could be seen as original research. Though a citation is given at the end of the paragraph, I did a 'Find on Page' search for some key words between the paragraph and the cited page, and didn't find a match.

The entire 'Conflicts' section relies heavily on a single article from Milwaukee Magazine (an article which is over six years old). The bulleted list of violations and controversies appears to have been directly cut and pasted from the article. Combined with the first paragraph referenced above, the entire section gives undue weight to the negative. In fact, it's the largest section in the entire article!

I recommend removing the section entirely, as all it does is bash the company. Alternatively, if someone felt like dedicating the time, a rewrite of the section to be a bit more impartial would work, too. IrishCowboy (talk) 14:48, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

The current 'Conflicts' section looks a lot like a copyvio from [1]. SQL^{Query me!} 04:28, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Weird Sentence[edit]

Sistema din y asa pdf. The fourth bullet of the 'Controversies' section contains the line 'Typical of the whole flat taxer/Afrocentric/logical fallacy history movement.' which doesn't seem related to anything in the article. I'm guessing this was somebody's error?

(Apologies if I'm doing this wrong..the most I've ever edited has been a few spelling corrections and adding somebody's death-date.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.133.39.139 (talk) 23:55, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

By Law360, New York (December 16, 2015, 7:15 PM EST) -- Home improvement chain Menards has been hit with a National Labor Relations Board charge for allegedly having an overly broad handbook that interferes with or restrains employees’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The Office & Professional Employees International Union Local 153 said in an amended charge filed Monday with the NLRB that Menards' Team Member Information Booklet has provisions that are too broad and can restrain or coerce the exercise of employee rights.

Menards is a fun and easy place to work. It can be stressful and exhausting because you are in retail and it is a huge store so you are running all over the place all day, but as far as retail goes, it is by far one of the better companies to work for. If you work hard enough, and are not a total idiot, you should be able to advance fairly quickly and the pay isn't bad. It still not a living wage, but what retail job is? You get an employee discount and standard benefits.

Menards Employee Benefits

One thing that's great about Menards is that you don't have to push stupid stuff like credit cards and service plans and they don't do any data mining at checkout so you don't have to harass your customers as they are trying to pay and leave. Menards also has really good systems so it's easy to find the products for your customers, or order online for them. There are computers everywhere so you can quickly help a customer who has questions, and inventory is about as good as it gets in retail. Also, the time clock system is great!

You clock in by swiping your name badge which is quick and easy. Everything is real time so if you don't remember what time you clocked out for lunch you can just check on your phone. You can also request time off and pick up shifts online. Training is also good. You can do at home training which I really liked. You don't get paid for it per se, but you can get free shirts which is awesome.

I had a ton of free, really nice, polo's to wear to work just by doing some pretty helpful training. Only your department training is required, everything else if optional. Last, but not least, the BEST thing about working at Menards is they send you gifts in the mail for holidays and stuff. It's the COOLEST thing I've ever had an employer do.

Sometimes they are weird or goofy things but it's so fun to get a gift in the mail every month or so. And it makes you feel truly appreciated. Oh, having said that, they also give very frequent raises which makes you feel good even if it doesn't amount to a whole lot. It's still just really nice to be appreciated by your employer. Overall, Menards is one of the best companies I have ever worked for, and I've had a million jobs. Stick with them and you can do very well for yourself.

I forgot to mention that you get to wear jeans to work. How great is that? A typical day was always filled with something or task to do. I learned and improved my ability to be accountable, self-driven, and work smoothly with even the most disagreeable coworkers. Management was strict and had high expectations but was always empathetic of any prohibiting issues in you life. The culture is diverse with people who range from different aspirations and backgrounds.

The hardest part of the job was the days when there was nothing to do. Those were the days that seemed to never end. The best part of the job was definitely the friendships I created along with.
