Pros

Fastenal allows you to work whenever you want as long you don't work over 30 hours a week, which is great for busy students. There's a lot of growth within the company too so it's likely you'll get experience in many roles under one umbrella in a short period of time.

Cons

The pay isn't great. I also worked for the company for 2 years and was never reviewed. I would have liked the opportunity for more feedback.

Pros

I like my coworkers and my GM is a good .

Cons

The business model and lean staffing is simply unsustainable. Entry level pay, part time, little training, no commissions. Fastenal is focused on the sale rather than the customer. The wing it mentatility leaves customer service lacking. It's a roll coaster of putting one fire out after the other. They sale the position during the interview process but after your in there's empty promises with no real timelines for when the advancement is coming. Upper management seems out of touch with the day to day business. If you ask for help they simply say you have a good schedule. It's extremely disappointing that it has turned out this way because I was excited about the prospect of becoming an Account manager.
