Pros

Great Part Time Opportunities Good Job for a college student Really learn different aspects of running a business Promotion are typically considered within first

Cons

District Manager can micromanage a lot Really not decentralized decision making, district managers try to have a foot in everything A lot of hard work and not great Sales pay Benefits could be better There goal is to benefits there pockets more then the customer (vending machines or customers that don't need them, and bin stock for smaller customers that don't need them)

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.
