Pros

Lots of hands-on experience, Exposure to Business practices.

Cons

A lot of expectations for so little pay and compensation. Almost no "separation of powers" essentially expected to do what a account rep can do, Lack of professionalism by everybody. Expected to "take ownership" with very little instruction and reprimanded for asking or making mistakes. Willingness to recruit people but unwillingness to get the equipment needed to complete the job (androids and trucks).

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.
