      Pros

      Company present good advancement opportunities, good distinction between work and personal life. I would recommend anyone to work here if you are motivated and looking for a good opportunity.

      Cons

      Seems like each week the company is changing the expectations. They do not focus on one thing, and although you must excel in all areas it would be nice to know what the company wants most.

      Fastenal Rocks the Western Front!

      Pros

      I think that the best reasons to work for Fastenal are the fact that there is not a major amount of pressure to achieve things that are out of reach. The goals are set high but not unrealistic and they are always at one point or another, achievable. You are praised enough for your hard work and not reprimanded more than needed when markers are not hit. They have good benifits, and as long as your a hard worker you do not need to be superbly intelligent to work in management. They assume that someone who works hard and is trained in the field from thier school of business is perfectly fine for the job.

      Cons

      I would have to say there are quite a few downsides, but the perks outweigh the downers. For starters, I think that there is a lot that is expected thoughout the day and depending on the branch, these cannot all be completed in the assumed time frame. My store has more customer walk-ins than many others. This causes my in-store support guy to not be able to do his main job, so my manager gets on me about that, so to solve that I will take the in-store customers instead and then I am not able to do my main job to its full capacity. This causes for some frustration.

      Pros

      Great room to improve and move up the corporate ladder.Great District mangers, Managers,

      Cons

      Part-Time is really part time. But it is also a very proud place to work, you get to work with all the big companys in your town and meet high up people. fastenal also gives you great people skills, you have to learn to communicate well with others which will improve your skills for later in life.
