Pros

product knowlegde training, good stepping stone

high employee turn over rate, and a poorly run hub and spoke system that will eat up employee commissions and sales potential. Wear too many hats as an OSP

Pros

You get to meet great people along the way. POS system is a great tool.

Cons

Fastenal does not do performance reviews. Trying to get a raise is near impossible. When you ask for a raise they upper management says that you need to sell more..... Fastenal seems like it's trying to weed out there tenure employees and higher college grads with no experience and little pay to replace seasoned personnel.
