Pros

-Great hands-on training program at company facility ( i.e.: Indy Hub) -Inside Reps were great helping out as long as you trained them right. -Customers were always eager to hear a sale going on. -Benefits were decent, not poor and not the best just middle of the road. Good 401k package and market share plan

Cons

-Below average base salary -Very little/no consequences for management discipline when other staff are picking up the slack and reportedly discussed issue with DM via phone, email, and face-to-face -Promised promotions and raises, but when approached for recorded sales growth was denied and told too important to move up and too much going on company wide for raise/bonus

Pros

Osp was an easy job, drive to customers. Shoot the moon and sell some crap they needed.

Cons

You put your heart and soul into selling, you make the best routes, document your sales, follow the guidlines and grow sales. Still when you leave for a better paying job and medical reasons cause you to try and come back to fastenal to rekindle what you left. Instead they give you the bird and tell you in a email that you arent qualified.
