      Pros

      Flexible hours for Part Time.

      Cons

      You train yourself (at least i did) and its difficult to learn the system. Regular hours are 7-5. You have to buy your own work shirts. Commission is based on margin and if you beat last years monthly goal then its considered "growth". National contracts often kill sales margin, because the people who set the prices set them so low there isn't a lot of money to be made and margin is poor. Salary is bad considering the amount of work you put in for this job. Honestly Fastenal doesn't pay enough to put up with it.

      Pros

      The people I've worked with have been always a pleasure and we always seemed to get along and have fun during our shift. The work itself consists of alot of heavy lifting as its a warehouse job. Be prepared to drive a forklift and pickup truck regularly. I do alot of order processing and delivery to customer locations. I'm sort of working my way from a warehouse role into an office based role. My new duties include converting quotes into orders, vendor purchasing, pricing, delivery to customers, vending machine management, and more.

      Cons

      Hard to get any increase in compensation of any kind. No matter how hard you work or how much you make for the company they always have a reason to keep the budget tight and never seem to have any money left over for the employees. Even as my duties become more advanced and mentally tasking I am still left to my warehouse pay rates which isn't fair to me. The pay structure is largely to blame because any increase in a employees rate comes directly out of the store manager and district managers commission which leads to very little incentive to share the wealth with those below management roles.
