Pros

It was an easy job 85% of the time

Cons

As a part-time sales associate, I did as much work as a full-time sales associate and got paid less (more than $4 an hour less) and no commission. I thought that was lame because our full-time sales associate was lazy. My manager was money hungry and didn't pay attention to the reality mentioned above, so it really was lame to be doing a full-timers job at the pay of a poor student-level job.

Pros

I like my coworkers and my GM is a good .

Cons

The business model and lean staffing is simply unsustainable. Entry level pay, part time, little training, no commissions. Fastenal is focused on the sale rather than the customer. The wing it mentatility leaves customer service lacking. It's a roll coaster of putting one fire out after the other. They sale the position during the interview process but after your in there's empty promises with no real timelines for when the advancement is coming. Upper management seems out of touch with the day to day business. If you ask for help they simply say you have a good schedule. It's extremely disappointing that it has turned out this way because I was excited about the prospect of becoming an Account manager.
