Pros

Learn the basics of running your business to a certain extent.

Cons

If you want to be successful you have to be willing to give up your personal life, Management can care less if you put in personal time because it is expected of you. In order to move up in the company you have to align yourself with management and hope they like you. Plenty of people have been promoted over better employees because who they knew. Pay is only great if you are located at a branch that has potential to grow. More times than not you find yourself overworking and one little mistake and they will replace you.

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.
