Pros

Schedule is great. You can leave work at work. Really relaxed atmosphere. Co workers are great. Build a lot of connections

Cons

Pay is awful for what we did. You get the feeling that you are disposable/ replaceable. Upper Management is always complaining about what we did wrong. The store employees are blamed for 90% of the companies problems, even problems that only upper management seem to have access to fix or change. Had to push programs that seemed to be very ineffective and unresponsible.

Pros

They paid a dollar more than minimum wage.

Cons

HIGH turnover rate because the company sucks for employee structure... meaning... My district manager said "we don't do reviews or give raises at all, to anyone". I was there 9 months. I worked with uneducated idiots who had no idea how to speak to employees or coach or train. In two weeks my district manager was replaced and my store manager quit. I had to work with a coworker who I had called HR on on because he liked to yell at me when know one was around. HR didn't care. Fastenal HONESTLY was the worst company I have EVER worked for. I have never had a company care less about me.... New hires... Good luck!
