Pros

It's a good place to network with your customers to get a better job.

Cons

The pay structure changes frequently. With the new law requiring managers to be paid more, Fastenal cut the amount of commission so managers are either breaking even or MAKING LESS than before the mandatory raise. As quoted from a District Manager, "Fastenal obviously can't pay you guys more because it's bad for business." Shafting the backbone of your workforce isn't really helping either.

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
