Pros

Very flexible schedule. Inform your leads or supervisors of any changes (appointments, school hours, or any other incidents) and they will work with you to set up hours that are more accommodating.

Cons

During busier months, hours become less uncertain as longer nights may be needed to finish the day's work. Not necessarily a bad thing, if you're part-time and wanting more hours.

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.
