Pros

Worked with my schedule as a part time employee

Cons

Where do I begin? Comments about my age (40s), constant reminding that I am not an "A" candidate for raises/recognition because I do not want a career with them (for good reason), watching people get treated poorly, demoted or even fired for not being a team player.

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.
