Pros

Saturdays and Sundays off There are no other pros except for the people and companies shopping. Certainly no pros in management!

Cons

Poor management did just what was necessary. Failure to look for new business, no follow up on any ideas suggested They force you to quit and claim there are no layoffs which is not correct. PALEH closed June 1, 2023 3 support staff looking for work out of job at Fastenal.

Pros

Closed holidays ( only full time employees get paid - part timers no pay ). Not much else positive

Cons

Like pulling teeth to get a full time position if you are over 30 years old. No benefits for part time, and if you are over 30 , you will stay part time forever. Management are primarily white, males who look down on everyone. POC are never elevated to management positions, and are rarely seen anyway. Lower management is chosen only if they are young, regardless if they have people skills. Constant turnover due to manager's inflated egos. Their favorite phrase that they throw at you constantly is "Everyone is replaceable", yet they are always hiring and complaining they cannot fill positions lol. It's pretty bad when they advertise externally for Asst. Manager and Lead positions, because the existing employees are either too old to be considered, or the kids do not have work ethic to do the work necessary. The smart employees usually end up leaving, usually without notice due to the high stress level and toxic atmosphere.

Pros

Company is good and management also good

Cons

Few croos play politics. Worst experience with technical team and they don't maintain proper team structure and role. Everything is In control within few team members they don't let you evolve in the project. Micro management. Very bad experience 😕
