Pros

No managers breathing down your neck

Cons

terrible pressure for sales, never good enough, low pay for number of hours put in, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

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.
