Pros

You get the opportunity to run your own business. Your daily duties consist of maintaining the brick and mortar store. Merchandising is time consuming along with the cycle counts. Your morning will consist of receiving goods followed by placing them in their store location. You will learn all aspects of a brick and mortar store front

Cons

Low salary, high turn of personnel and minimal time to conduct outside sales in order to grow the business.

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.
