Pros

Great bosses who are very understanding and accommodating. Most holiday's the store was closed. The relationship developed with co-workers and frequent customers is great. The job can be really fun and even on the worst days it really isn't even as bad as a good day working at a regular retail store.

Cons

The company is very top heavy. The people at the store level are highly underpaid and the people higher up are grossly overpaid. The distribution of not only wealth, but power will really get annoying. It doesn't affect the part-time employees as much, but having to work with the full-time employees who are directly affected by the higher ups gets annoying. This pressure is found nation wide.

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.
