Pros

You learn a lot about different products and how to sell them. This job makes you jump into the fire and figure things out, which is the best training!

Cons

pay stinks. its is a little disheartening when you bust your butt for 2 years and get laughed at when you ask for a raise...

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.
