Pros

The one pro about working at Fastenal is gaining product knowledge

Cons

Poor compensation for sales reps. The company is consolidating locations so there are fewer opportunities to move into a management position. Management does not keep their word. The corporate office also makes business decisions that make it harder on the people at the store level to be successful.
