Pros

It depends on who your GM is. If you have a good GM, you will have a great experience and truly enjoy the job. It is hard work and sometimes frustrating, but it's a lot of fun having access to multiple businesses and helping them get what they need.

Cons

You may potentially be exposed to harmful chemicals depending on what businesses your branch has. Pay is not great considering how much physical labor you do as a supply chain associate. The software is completely out of date and hard to use at first. Their are many loopholes within the software, takes a good amount of time to learn and get used to.

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.
