Pros

Pay is decent and everyone that is not a manager is nice. A lot of hours available to work if you need to work around school and such

Cons

You are told that you have opportunities to move up in the company but you are never given them. They do anything they can to make sure you don't get a raise to keep costs low and they DO NOT care about your health at all. The atmosphere is draining and they have the attitude that you're expendable and they don't care if you're okay. This is one of the main reasons why they are so short staffed because everyone that was hired and worked here for more than a month realized how completely awful this company truly is.

Pros

I like my coworkers and my GM is a good .

Cons

The business model and lean staffing is simply unsustainable. Entry level pay, part time, little training, no commissions. Fastenal is focused on the sale rather than the customer. The wing it mentatility leaves customer service lacking. It's a roll coaster of putting one fire out after the other. They sale the position during the interview process but after your in there's empty promises with no real timelines for when the advancement is coming. Upper management seems out of touch with the day to day business. If you ask for help they simply say you have a good schedule. It's extremely disappointing that it has turned out this way because I was excited about the prospect of becoming an Account manager.
