Pros
Fastenal can be a great place to work in a store getting to know customers and helping them with their needs on a daily basis. Great networking opportunity
Cons
When I was leaving Fastenal and interviewing with other companies, everyone said Fastenal is a 20/20 company. They hire 20 year olds for 20 months and then turn them over. Good luck finding a manager over 45 in the store level. The majority of employees are young white men 20-30 years old. Fastenal does not value experience in their stores, even though their customers do. As turnover occurs customers leave and buy elsewhere because service falters when good people leave.
