Pros

This is a great company to work for , with good values. You can expect hard work, but it is rewarding (the customers and contacts are great). There are opportunities to move up. Fastenal is a solid company with decent benefits. They opporate on the skinny side, but that is a huge part of what makes this company secure, and what makes your position vital.

Cons

High turnover, but nothing unusal for a sales job. Long work days.

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.
