Pros

Great coworkers for the most part. Great hands on training in the industrial and construction supplies field. A first hand look at different industries that require the products and services of an industrial and construction supply company.

Cons

The training all around is sub par. The online training is ineffective. The two branches that I've worked at have a sink or swim mentality from management as well as other coworkers.

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.
