      Pros

      Fastenal School of Business-Training Advancement Opportunity (due to high turnover) Unpredictable days - always something new

      Cons

      I took a failing store and doubled the sales the first year, then the 2nd year, but on the 3rd year the sales took a nose dive due to factory closings...and they fired me..via TEXT. No loyalty to hard working employees. Warped commission structure = NO Commission NO raises Long hours doing everything from scrubbing toilets, unloading trucks, taking phone orders, picking orders, selling and delivering as General Mgr. Stores are grossly understaffed.

      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.
