Pros

I love my job. I have been general manager for one year and look forward to work everyday. If you are a hard worker who doesn't get stuck in the negative you can be very very successful. FASTENAL is not for everyone. So much flexibility to run MY BUISNESS the way I want to. If you can go pound the pavement every day looking for opportunities and a sale you will be successful. Fastenal can teach you with the tools we have at our fingertips. But not everyone is worth the time.

Cons

I don't believe there are any.

Pros

You get to meet great people along the way. POS system is a great tool.

Cons

Fastenal does not do performance reviews. Trying to get a raise is near impossible. When you ask for a raise they upper management says that you need to sell more..... Fastenal seems like it's trying to weed out there tenure employees and higher college grads with no experience and little pay to replace seasoned personnel.
