      Pros

      You learn to work under pressure. If you are capable of finding and building the relationships, the job can be simple. But it requires a lot of time.

      Cons

      - Poor Bottom Up communication. The higher ups do not like to listen to those below. - Read the other reviews. They really cover it well.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good place to start when out of school but unprofessional management ruins any interest or opportunity for advancement past the branch manager position.

      Cons

      It is a gong show, the turnover is incredibly high, no loyalty to employees, district managers have no relevant education, or no formal education at all.

      Pros

      Some good people, got to travel alot, good pay. But I was not in Sales, nor did I ever work in a Branch.

      Cons

      Better keep your mouth shut, had heaven forbin, you speak the truth. If you are in the "club" your safe for awhile. If you ever have a disagreement, better watch your words. They will use the far reaching Standards of Conduct (SOC) to get you. After 8 years of employment I was fired, without ever being allowed to defend the situation. I was never written up, nor talked to about performance, yet I used the word Chicken S**** in a conversation with a Branch Manager, did not call him that, just how he handled a situation, and they pulled the SOC on me and said I violated Teamwork and Integrity and was fired the next day. Avoid Fastenal like the pleague.
