Pros

the pay for part time is decent ($12/hr to start). The job is pretty easy, recieve the truck in the monring, put stuff away, and answer the phone for the rest of the day. Not much product knowledge is needed. I came in knowing very little but they do a good job teaching and theres even a Fastenal school of business that they urge you to complete and you can do so on company time.

Cons

Lack of part-time hours. I was told before I started that I would have a full time postition within a month or 2. It has now been 8 months and I'm still waiting. The job itself isnt bad but in order to want to stay here they have to promote people or give raises. All the DM's care about are sales dollars and not much more.

Pros

Good hours. Weekends off. Very laid back and easy going coworkers. The ability to move up in the company. Fun work environment

Cons

Worst GM I've ever worked for. Outside sales position gets screwed. It's all about upper management. Lots of product on website and in catalog that are very hard to get

Pros

I work at an in-plant which is hands down the best place to be as a sales/sales support employee. I am constantly learning and I interact with customers all day everyday in a laid back atmosphere. High autonomy as long as you get your job done. They don't micromanage me (this is not what I've heard about working in a store). Overall, great place to start your career right out of college. If you're intelligent and a hard worker, you can and will move up quickly although you will almost certainly have to relocate to do so.

Cons

They start all new inexperienced employees out at part-time which is great if you're going to school and can graduate and move immediately into a full-time position but if you're already out of school, it's hard to live off of part-time. It takes at least 6 months to get to a full-time position.
