      Pros

      Great sales training. Lots of opportunity for advancement. Great mobility, ability to move anywhere in the country and find a position.

      Cons

      Poor management. Numbers focused to such a degree that the value on employees and "what's right" get overlooked. Poor pay structure. Deceptive commission structure. 50+ hour/week expectations. Inflexible around family events.

      Pros

      Flexible schedule for a college student. Got to be out on the road. I was able to interact with customers.

      Cons

      Limited to 20 hours a week. Boring in the store at times. Management was always looking to cut hours to save money.

      Pros

      Customers are awesome! Training is the best... with schools that offer management courses, vending training and other training's if a really good company like Grainger, MCC, WhiteHead, Kintec and so on do not have openings Fastenal is a great place to get training while trying to get on with a decent company.

      Cons

      Extremely low pay. Hours to pay ratio for management are around 10.00 per hour. Long hours, nights and weekends. Stores are way understaffed so that Fastenal can portray the image of more profits. High turn over through out the company. It is a very unstable company and high risk for failure in the coming years because of it. Lack of integrity through out the company....and little to no support from D.M's...which the upper management may well figure out soon.
