Pros

I became friends with my manager and co workers so my job became more fun. As I was an intern for a while, but I realized I wasn't just an intern, but an inside sales associate for a good company. More than supportive.

Cons

Too much change too fast, as I was promised a job with this company and then they let me go as I was prepared to come back. Never responded much after that

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.
