Pros

Resume builder....is the Only positive! Everyone at Fastenal is expendable. Everyone. As long as the upper management is getting their piece of the pie, they could care less about what type of money their shareholders could be making if they looked in to keeping their employees longer than 6 months. Four months after starting this job, 4 out of 5 people within the company you meet will hate their job. Everyone who works for Fastenal is always "looking".

Cons

Cheap, frugile, cheap, cheap, cheap, greedy, cheap, cheap, cheap, turnover rate throught the roof

Pros

For such a large company, they move fast. If you demonstrate exceptional talent, it is rewarded much more quickly than other companies. Good decision-making gets a lot of attention.

Cons

Low starting pay makes it so that there are not a lot of applicants for entry level positions. Bad employee behavior is tolerated because it's hard to backfill the position.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
