Pros

After years of being with the company, I can't think of any good qualities.

Cons

management above the GM is too busy worrying about the numbers and inner-company political B.S. to be useful. I spent years being ridden like Sea-biscuit because I didn't know that I could find a better job in our local area. I put in upwards of 60 hours a week and was never praised or recognized, just ridiculed.

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.
