Pros

Hours are prime and there are no weekends. Work schedule is also very flexible for part time students. Time off is usually not a problem.

Cons

Advancement and raises can be few and far between away from corporate. Stores can fight between themselves for customers and sales.

Pros

The idea behind working at Fastenal is a good one; do whatever it takes to serve and maintain the satisfaction of the industries in your area. This seems very genuine and respectable and this is one aspect I can honestly support. Also, the working environment is likely to be very close-knit due to the low number of employees allotted to each branch. This makes for a friendly atmosphere but does not compensate for the severe shortcomings this Company possesses as a whole.

Cons

The main cons of working at Fastenal are not unique in that you would most likely see these issues working for any large, national company. Of course, the pay is sub par and we are currently being held down to a meager twenty hours a week but this is to be expected. The unfortunate issue is really how there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Nothing is being done to retain good talent. The vast majority of people working in our corporate offices started out on the ground level. Currently, Fastenal is running away all talent on this ground level and will have few advantages when the economy does turn around. This will not only leave them behind but also missing the competitive edge that they have held and relied upon for over forty years.

Pros

Great room to improve and move up the corporate ladder.Great District mangers, Managers,

Cons

Part-Time is really part time. But it is also a very proud place to work, you get to work with all the big companys in your town and meet high up people. fastenal also gives you great people skills, you have to learn to communicate well with others which will improve your skills for later in life.
