Pros

The management is flexible given the position that I have. Great place to work for college students. There is lots of opportunity for advancement, if not in Fastenal than it is a great place to prove your skills to Fastenal customers in hopes that they may offer you a job.

Cons

Pay is not the best at all. I have been working there for over a year with no raise at all. No feedback from management either.

Pros

For such a large company, they move fast. If you demonstrate exceptional talent, it is rewarded much more quickly than other companies. Good decision-making gets a lot of attention.

Cons

Low starting pay makes it so that there are not a lot of applicants for entry level positions. Bad employee behavior is tolerated because it's hard to backfill the position.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
