Pros

Good first job to put something on your resume. Good part time job for high school or college students. It's not a career type company, but it's a good starter company while you look for something else.

Kontras

-Unsustainable growth through outrageous sales goals YTD and MTD. It's a growth bubble similar to the housing market crisis. -Extremely high turnover due to increasingly fast moving trend towards over micro-managing, employee intimidation, and regular decreases in commission rates with the expectation of more sales output. Constantly training/ promoting new incompetent employees because of unsatisfied turnover. -Completely focused on stock price rather than employee satisfaction. -Bad business model of taking from employees (the sales force core of business growth) to keep the stock prices elevated to show positive growth to investors.

Pros

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

Kontras

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.
