      Pros

      Flexible Scheduling I enjoy the people I work with

      Cons

      Pay Structure is currently around 15-19% below market average for same job Employee Turnover is BAD! (This cascades to hurt other areas, such as store performance, and hitting goals) (( Upper management claims this is a non-issue but whine and cry when a GOOD Employee leaves for a less stressful and higher paying job elsewhere.))

      Pros

      I particularly enjoyed building relationships with the customers

      Cons

      There are two kinds of people at Fastenal: people who do everything and people who do nothing. If you’re one of those that does everything then you’ll find yourself burnt out and frustrated

      Pros

      Great resume builder. They give you the tools to become an outstanding sales Rep. Good work/life balance.

      Cons

      The Base is fair if you just do sales. Staffing is always a problem though so you are frequently stuck inside as an outside sales rep. The commission structure is not competitive even compared to similar companies (i.e. Grainger, MSC etc.) I have been laughed at by other sales reps when explaining Fastenal's Comp plan. No Cell phone or company car. Cant access anything you need remotely. Tech is way behind the times. Archaic company policies to cut corners and keep insurance costs low.
