We most likely will shop at Menard's more often.Ĭompanies much smaller than Menard's offer these benefits. They matched the color of another company's paint without a number because we had run out and the other place was closed. When I asked him, "Don't you have sick leave?" his answer was "no." I said, "That's terrible!" He said, "Menard's is privately owned so they get by with that." You probably can get by with it, but why would you want to? Aren't these employees valuable to you? How much does it cost to train an employee like this. Imagine walking around on those concrete floors with a bad knee 8 hours a day or longer then having to find another job so that he can have knee surgery to get his knee repaired so that he can again serve the customers at Menard's. He and his wife are taking on extra jobs in order to save enough so he can take some time in recovery. When asked about it, he said that he needed a knee replacement, but he couldn't afford to be off work that long.

The associate who was dedicated to helping this guy who knows nothing about painting was limping around. Yesterday I was in Menard's picking up paint supplies. In order to take care of the funeral arrangements and other things, that person had to take vacation time.

I once worked with an 20 year plus Menard's employee whose daughter was killed in a car wreck a very tragic death that left her widower and the employee's family with three young, motherless children. Menard's has many dedicated employees, but I wonder about their welfare.
