Pros

On your own with not much info. from above you. You learn from mistakes you make.

Cons

Never know when the truck will arrive so you can get on your way to your stops, 20' bundles suck , truck needs repaired your doing it on your own time, get paid on the 1st and the 16th and if on weekend automatically goes to Monday, checks don't give breakdown of your mileage and other incentives (could be getting ripped off), store employees don't have to help you while your struggling, pay that you make is not worth the responsibilities you have, insurance for family is over $250 per check, stores love to complain about you,

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.
