Pros

Don't have to work weekends because all stores are closed. The shop didn't have too much traffic all day. Relaxed work environment, being able to work outside was nice.

Cons

Dealing with upset customers on a regular basis. Doing a lot of work to sell very insignificant products, i.e. screws, bolts ect.

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.
