Pros

Dodge Ram delivery trucks, opportunity to build a career, meet new people, learn how to run a business, fairly easy going.

Cons

I was had 3 interviews over 3 months with 3 different managers. They all seemed to like me and i eventually got the job. I was studying sales at the time in college and knew a few people who worked for Fastenal. They liked it and felt they were getting good experience for a career once they graduated. I started the job and things were going fine, but I was in the truck with my branch manager one morning to go pick our other truck from the shop, and when we got back, I didn't have a job any more. He didn't take much time to get to know me, didn't like what he did or didn't see in me, and let me go after 5 days. I worked for a small, 4 person branch. I was let go, the other PT sales support guy went to ROTC camp shortly after, and our branch manager left for a better job in a different city at the end of the next week. 3 out of 4 people in my branch left in 2 weeks. Turnover is crazy at Fastenal. Anyone can get a job there, but not all of those people are qualified. I've heard all sorts of other things about all the bad in this company that these reviews seem so corroborate. Stay away.
