Pros

Money, money, and more money. the only good thing about the company.

Cons

Long 12 or more hours, some workers slack off and you get blamed for it. a bit of a learning curve to memorize where everything is at when sorting and loading trucks, bad working environment where people are cliqued up and few people help each other out, belts stop working frequently making work hours longer, no work life balance, and managers leave left and right in shipping.

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.
