Business Outlook
Pros
Fastenal is essentially what one makes it. Whatever you put into your career, is what you will most likely get out of it. As time goes on, opportunities are always presenting themselves to grow and there's always an opportunity to learn in sales and customer service, supply chain, inventory, etc.
Cons
Being understaffed and feeling overworked is the norm, especially in an onsite role. If you're considering an onsite role, understand that you are the team. If you don't hit and/or maintain the numbers necessary or project growth (and actually grow), understand that the workload is going to be carried by you...that the ship sinks or sails based on you.
