Pros

Good for a part time job. High turnover leads to a lot of opportunity for advancement.

Cons

After you advance, you typically get let go for "underperforming" once you start making too much money. Company changes commission structure frequently to stiff hard working employees that probably make on average 32k/year as an OSP, 45k/year as a GM. Company went on a hiring spree, then fired most of those employees once quarterly earnings report was released.

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.
