Pros

Learned alot and felt like what I did helped and mattered

Cons

Compensation is very top heavy and based on profits and growth. When I started getting bonus our store was doing about 150k per month and I was getting almost $1k a month in commission. By the end and what made me leave we were doing about 500k and my bonus fell to the minimum of $125. Most of this was do to minimum bonuses that were exhorbadent and well above the companies corporate pay structure which ate up our profit growth causing me to get paid less.

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.
