Pros

Customer aren't snobby, normal guys

Cons

So many products, most of which are industrial. It will take years to learn the products in and out and everyone who comes there is looking for advice. If you aren't familiar with the products people get mad.

Pros

You get to meet great people along the way. POS system is a great tool.

Cons

Fastenal does not do performance reviews. Trying to get a raise is near impossible. When you ask for a raise they upper management says that you need to sell more..... Fastenal seems like it's trying to weed out there tenure employees and higher college grads with no experience and little pay to replace seasoned personnel.
