Pros

Management is very helpful and really there to help you in anyway. Flexible and relax environment. Good way to get your foot in the door in the industrial supply world. You will learn the business and company from the ground up which was an awesome experience for my early career.

Cons

I really enjoy working for the company but pay is too low to continue full time.

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.
