Pros

Easy to get a job here and they work around your schedule for part time work. Not a great sense of micromanagement. If you do your job you are not hassled with.

Cons

The largest downside is the sense of respect. Upper management doesn't genuinly care of the satisfaction of their employees. They do not communicate well with the indivisual in order to get a sense of their satisfaction. The pay is below average for the work input. I have a great vibe that they see a solution to a problem as hire someone new rather than work with the current employee. Poor communication within the hub as well as a reward program. If i do my job correctly, it goes unrewarded. Occasionally

Pros

I like my coworkers and my GM is a good .

Cons

The business model and lean staffing is simply unsustainable. Entry level pay, part time, little training, no commissions. Fastenal is focused on the sale rather than the customer. The wing it mentatility leaves customer service lacking. It's a roll coaster of putting one fire out after the other. They sale the position during the interview process but after your in there's empty promises with no real timelines for when the advancement is coming. Upper management seems out of touch with the day to day business. If you ask for help they simply say you have a good schedule. It's extremely disappointing that it has turned out this way because I was excited about the prospect of becoming an Account manager.
