      Ask too much and give too little.

      Pros

      It's good if you would like to be a general manager at a retail store. Its good for promotions from part-time to outside sales to general manager to district manager. Land a big account to ride on for a while. It's a good stepping stone for sales reps, they hire almost anyone (unless you have a visible tattoo). Decent benefits. Company car while on the job.

      Cons

      Drink the blue koolaid and all is fine and dandy. They have terrible pay and require much out of the employees. Good employees but bad morale due to lack of pay.

      Long term employment and loyalty to good employees at the store level seems to be a thing of the past.

      Pros

      Nationwide Company, Partial pay Health and Dental Insurance offered, Work monday through friday, 401k offered, training available, good work trucks

      Cons

      Corporate created Commission pay calculator that constantly is tweaked and rebuilt if the company needs to recoup money to minimize low quarterly sales for stock shareholder reports. Company has too many upper management heads to pay for.

      Pros

      The management is flexible given the position that I have. Great place to work for college students. There is lots of opportunity for advancement, if not in Fastenal than it is a great place to prove your skills to Fastenal customers in hopes that they may offer you a job.

      Cons

      Pay is not the best at all. I have been working there for over a year with no raise at all. No feedback from management either.
