Pros

Money is really the only thing. But they expect you to work significantly harder than what you make.

Cons

I have worked part time for 2 years and am now basically expected to run the department so the manager can go on break... for 4 hours. They expect you to work overtime if they need it. I have put in 57 hours in a single week there, my manager put in 40 that same week.

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.
