Pros

Really great people to build relationships with. They run a very profitable business in a wide variety of markets. They offer some extended benefits based on your position like a company vehicle. Pretty flexible work schedule (based on position and manager). The ability to travel and go to some cool events.

Cons

Benefits and salary are lacking compared to other companies. Although they are very profitable, they are extremely lean and hesitant to spend money on their employees. No flex schedules or remote work options unless you have been traveling for multiple days at a time or hold very specific job titles.

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.
