Pros

Great Pay (salary + commission) Good Benefits Good Experience Growing Company

Cons

Demanding quotas Struggling economy Tough market penetration You might have to take a lot of crap from some hot-headed business owners/managers. Misleading job title and description. I was great at providing support to the sales team and could do the sales as well but since I was the sales support I had no one to turn to for help and had to instead rely on myself to do all the work creating, balancing, supporting, providing, ordering for, and managing all the accounts. You're sales, sales support, market research, accounting, procurement, VMI, and prospecting all in one but only get paid for the sales. Its worth getting into to build your resume but I wouldn't plan on sticking around.

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.
