Pros

Excellent opportunity to advance your career if you made poor educational choices in your youth. Opportunities to learn technical or business concepts IF you make it your business to pursue them.

Cons

Middle management (district and regional mamagers) do not seem to be playing from the same sheet of music as executive level. Much of upper level management either doesn't know or doesn't care about the raw amount of work that is expected from the branches on a daily basis. Past due A/R affects pay, but very minimal (almost zero) collections support from the corporate level.

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.
