Pros

Basically, the people are the best part of the job. You get to interact with customers that are always not in a bad mood. And no work on weekends.

Cons

Getting in a higher position takes way longer than it should, and the company is already behind on getting more customers, so it's hard to compete.

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.
