Pros

If you are persistent, thorough and work hard it is hard to not be succesful time off is not bad endless tools at your disposal to make your job easier if you know where to look potential for good commissions if you are in or near a big city

Cons

everyone has to start part time-if that isnt a slap in the face to a new hire I dont know what is being passed over for a promised promotion is not uncommon when things go bad, it seemed that the culture of the company focused on doom and gloom and scare tactics

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.
