      Pros

      Lots of great co-workers, willing to train with no experience. They do give you independence and freedom.

      Cons

      "Growth through customer service" is dead. Pay plans are a serious joke, except it is not funny. You may last a few years, but you will figure it out. They will find a way to plug the hole if you find a way to make money. And don't dare say anything, they are the biggest bunch of babies.

      Pros

      Can be a rewarding Job...Good intro to the Hardware Industry Sometimes You feel like You did something good Company vehicles to drive.

      Cons

      Sadly A Very Cheap Company Low Pay for Very Long Hours- min 50 hour week, sometimes 60+ Cheap Phones, Cheap Computer Systems Upper Management likes to Lecture Employee's based on their Propaganda of Fastenal. Basically a Very Backwards Company that Understaffs Stores, Overworks Employee's, and to Me it always struck Me as a Pyramid scheme, Upper Management reaps the benefits of Overworking & Browbeating their employee's over Unrealistic Corporate expectations based on Corporate profitability forecasts. Chronic Understaffing...Poor Business Judgement By Senior Mgmt. Of All the Companies I worked with Fastenal's training was some of the worst, not to mention their Cheap & Proprietary Computer applications which were very difficult to work with.

      Cons

      Some of leadership should not be running a company. Pay is substantially less than industry standard. Company does not care about its people.
