Pros

Relatively easy job Company promotes from within Flexible schedules for people with multiple obligations Successful company that continues to grow and create job opportunities

Cons

Low wages in comparison to similar companies Very strict rules regarding overtime hours. All employes start as part time workers with the promise that after 6 months full time work will be available. I know people who have held part time positions for over 3 years.

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.
