Pros

There is good pay for someone in college. You learn a lot about the industry (construction and industrial). You also can get an inside look at outside sales because you work closely with the sales guys. You can also make contacts with vendors.

Cons

Some of the policies aren't common sense. The hiring practices aren't good either. They promote from within but it is really hard to pass the test. I see very few women who are outside sales. They implement practices where it takes us twice as long to do the job as it did before.

Pros

For a part time position Fastenal Sales Support has really good pay. Managers are flexible with the work schedule Coworkers and managers are friendly, respectful Casual, laid back work environment No weekends

Cons

Only 18 hours a week limited by corporate, so despite good hourly pay it's not a big paycheck. As someone who knew nothing about construction/industrial equipment and fasteners, it has been really hard to learn much about the products since there's rarely any time set aside for these things.
