      Pros

      Opportunity to advance. Opportunity to travel. Opportunity to work anywhere in the US. OK pay initially for a single person

      Cons

      Corporate structure is so far removed from us that we are just an employee number. Break a corporate rule and you will be fired. Pay is great for us in specialist roles and upper management roles but below that the pay is marginal for single men and women. Part time pay is...well..part time pay.

      General Manager

      Pros

      At the retail front, Fastenal allows new employees to establish work experience in industrial sales while interacting with various clientele, that include but not limited to OEM and tier one suppliers. Advancements are promoted from within. This is an ideal fit for individuals looking for experience in the related field. There are basically three positions at the store level. Inside Sales, Outside Sales, and General Manager. If income is what motivates you then the General Manager role would be the appealing position; or ultimately District Manager. Personal opinion, out of the three positions General Manager is the only career position. General Managers make a salary range between 30-35,000 plus commission. Annual compensation Avg is 50,000. with the ability to make much more.

      Cons

      As a career you want to make it to a General Manager. Once in this position you will be faced with the challenge of high employee turn over. Another issue to mention is pricing and ultimately margin on product. National Accounts play a vital role in companies success. On a store level, a well balanced client portfolio will help establish a well rounded book of business; in turn will help your commission based compensation.

      Need a positive influence in the Buffalo Niagara Region. District Manager only cares how fast he can get home instead of supporting his staff.

      Pros

      5 day work week, co workers, company vehicle, professional contacts.

      Cons

      To lean, beef up the staff and let employees grow sales, District Manager in this area just doesn't help his employees, I've been here 9 years and I find myself more discouraged than ever.
