Pros

The only pro i can think of is having extra money in my pocket, but at 11 dollars an hour for the work you do it is not worth it.

Cons

1. storeage of items was unsafe for employees. 2. they dont use the proper equipment and vehicles the job requires. 3. they try to cut your breaks short. 4. not fair in the amount of work each employee is given. (if you work fast you will not be rewarded).

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.
