Pros

Customers | Team | Management | Daily Work I rarely have a bad experience with my customers, the team is a joy to work with, the General Manager is beyond excellent but the district manager is a bit disconnected from reality. The daily work is interesting and engaging and is rarely dull or overly stressful. I came to Fastenal as a throwaway job but was won over and stayed longer than I thought I would. A great place to cut your teeth if sales is what you want to do.

Cons

Pay | Location Denver and specifically Montbello/Aurora are stains on the planet and this is the location of the facility and all customers. My wife and I can't afford a home of our own with the pay and we penny pinch enough to make Scrouge proud. I recommend learning, developing, and growing here then taking those skills somewhere you can actually prosper, not just survive.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
