Pros

I liked my managers. Everyone up the ladder was good and communicative. They didn't care that I was on the lowest rung. Training that was pretty consistent, but was easy to be lazy and breeze through it without learning anything. Full benefits, but pretty expensive.

Cons

The pay for the area was unliveable. My manager had to get a second job which was a sign that I needed to go. They (whatever algorithm they use) set unreasonable goals which meant the commission was low (which I didn't qualify to receive anyway because of my job title). All in all, the job was as good as the place it was in.

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.
