Pros

Great work/life balance, great managers, every day is different. Once you are a manager, many companies recruit from fastenal.

Cons

Low pay, their employment structure has too many lower level jobs, very very few upper level jobs. Once you get to a store managers job, it is hard to advance much further due to the lack of middle management jobs.

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.
