Pros

The materials in their training program are really informative and I think the interactive training modules are really helpful. Opportunity to advance in the company. Work in Sales and drive the company truck to meet with clients. Working part-time gives a flexible schedule. Decentralized company so it is like you own your own branch, but all branches have access to a wide network of corporate assistance.

Cons

Advancement opportunity can mean moving to another store or city. Sometimes boring and unfulfilling..

Pros

Great teamwork atmosphere between stores. Insurance is good and not expensive. Hours are good. This company has a wonderful training program. If you are hired.. Train! It helps everyone! Pay is good.

Cons

District manager is inexperienced in "family". Too much micromanaging. This company should make it a policy to train ALL personal at THEIR facility so EVERYONE is working the "Fastenal way". The foundation of this company is wonderful! It's the arrogance in management that makes it difficult. This store is closing and this small area NEEDS this store here. Find ways to reduce overhead and reduce store size to keep this in the area. Only take a second to lose a customer. It's taken me an extreme amount to effort to mend bridges to get customers. Think about it.

Pros

The managers are really nice people, they will listen to you and help you. The company also has flexible schedule, so if you are in school, the managers would be empathetic. Also there is some great people working there. The pay is ok.

Cons

There is no opportunity to grow, you will be doing the same thing every day, so the job is very repetitive. You will be a part-time employee for a long time. I only saw ONE full time position available, and who knows who gets it, also no benefits.
