Pros

Learn a lot about a lot, have a good amount of freedom and, knowledgeable upper management. Beginning sales job. Great strategy, total supply chain supplier. If I owned a big company I would use them even a small one.

Cons

Very bad pay, commission pay breakdown is unseen and, pricing structure on items are high. Not the best work life balance.

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.
