Pros

-Good out of college job to gain experience, - Working your own store, not much oversight to day to day activities

Cons

Turnover, lack of direction, low pay, not great benefits, one of the biggest things is that everyday something changes, one month company will focus on one thing then the next another. You never get a general idea of where you need to head to grow your business. Lack of a full-time staff makes it hard to gain new business, because not enough time to make quality sales jobs.. No commission on sales below 20% margin even though most of those sales are national accounts that you have no say in the pricing.

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.
