Pros

Truly, I can't think of a single good thing to say about Fastenal.

Cons

Terrible support from senior management. Never allowed to hire your choice for open positions. Always short handed. Poor pay scale. Poor insurance. Too many hours without being compensated for them. Very high turnover rate.
