Pros

The will allow you to deal with customers at a very early stage in your training. Management in the company is easy to work with.

Cons

The good people leave quickly. Managers are close to the same age as the college students working for them. They do not have a lot of experience and knowledge to educate the younger employees. They won't blink an eye letting you go if sales drop for a month. During my time there we saw an extremely rapid growth in sales which required more manpower to handle. We hired 2 more people. We changed managers and within 1 month they let one person go due to a drop off in sales. They didn't even give the new manager time to recover from the transition and boost the sales back up.

Pros

If you can find good customers, who pay their bill, on time, Fastenal will not raid your check. Your coworkers are like war buddies, if they make it long enough to learn they become like family

Cons

They take your money when customers do not pay, they want you to work hours without pay, hire people who know little if anything about the products, employee turn over is worst I have ever seen, the managers are children, sexual harassments and hostile work environment is rampid, very little help and if you get it all they want is to figure out how to milk more from you, manangers above store level are way out of touch, upper managment is truly arrogant, product managers are ignorant to what they buy and options in the market, this list can go forever
