Pros

Decentralized work place. You can run your business how you want to. Pay is alright for a starter job. They do a good amount of training.

Cons

Decentralized work place. Your boss can run his business how he wants to and if you get a new boss who is incompetent there is nothing you can do. This is a 30/30/30 company. They higher people under 30, pay them less then 30, and they stay around for less then 30 months on average.

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.
