      Pros

      If you are beginning your career then Fastenal is an excellent company to get in on the ground floor of sales. You can quickly become a general manager, but there is not much opportunity beyond that level within the company.

      Cons

      There is a ceiling at the general manager level that is very difficult to break through since they have begun restricting their store expansions.

      Autonomy of the branch - love being able to run my business and market with their money Merit Pay - if you ain't growing you will eventually feel it in your bank account Benefits package Training

      Cons

      Inexperienced branch managers Sometimes reward short term successes with promotions only to see those people fail as managers

      Sellers and Managers beware of the hungry commission monster

      Pros

      A good job to get your feet wer and figure out how a bad company operates

      Cons

      Terrible compensaion system for sales and management--too many variables to get commission slashed and widdled away to nothing. you year after year have to do double the work to make the same amount of comission on existing accounts. 2% on existing 4% on new, and the existing goes up every year with your sales number for the specific month.
