Pros

Flexible schedule, ability to make decisions on your own, laid-back culture, company trucks.

Cons

Fastenal does NOT offer full-time to anyone, and they cut the part-time hours from 24 to only 17 hours a week due to "company saving during the holidays."

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.
