Pros

For a part time position Fastenal Sales Support has really good pay. Managers are flexible with the work schedule Coworkers and managers are friendly, respectful Casual, laid back work environment No weekends

Cons

Only 18 hours a week limited by corporate, so despite good hourly pay it's not a big paycheck. As someone who knew nothing about construction/industrial equipment and fasteners, it has been really hard to learn much about the products since there's rarely any time set aside for these things.

Pros

Great company culture, love the investment they put in for career advancement. Great people to work with, CEO is amazing but he's stepping down this month. Benefits are good. Decentralized organization so your ideas and solutions actually get listened to and implemented. Feel like I'm actually making a difference in the company.

Cons

Pay is lower than the industry average for most departments and they don't keep up with the cost of living, don't do bonuses (unless you're in sales) or pay raises. You have to ask to get one and most times they say no. Very male dominant at the branches and in sales, but many women in corporate leadership. Don't have any DEI initiatives. Not flexible on relocation for internal management roles, have to be at corporate HQ in Winona, MN.
