Pros
If you don't have a college degree, you can get a job. Fastenal doesn't want to pay overtime so if you are hourly, you usually won't work more than 40 hrs/week.
Cons
"Fastenal Frugal" is repeated throughout the entire company. No per diem when traveling. No annual performance reviews because they "dont believe in them" AKA they don't want to pay you more. They will dangle promotions infront of you and then completely change your job responsibilities and restart your progress. Everyone seems overworked, lots of turnover. Large learning curve.
