Pros

You can work hard, 60 hours a week, and get promoted. You can design your work day to your liking. You have the ability to think outside the box. Mandatory drug testing for all employees Jan 1 2012. They can now reduce their workforce and make their share holders happy.

Cons

You can work hard, 60 hours a week get promoted and make $2800.00 a month- No overtime is paid. Your upper management will be a collection of young white males who were promoted based on their ability to sell clients overpriced material they really didn't need. Upper management will not communicate with you unless your numbers go down. If your numbers do go down, will they assist you to get them back up-No, "If you're not moving up, you're moving out" Is there motto. Travel for company reasons and they pair you up in the Motel with another worker, usually a total stranger.

Pros

Growth within the company good experience given accounts I can't think of anymore pros to fastenal

Cons

Very low pay compared to rest of industry Very Poor management Wrong people get promoted Very little time off Expected to work hard and long hires for pay that is less than I received in the military They don't give raises but say you get a raise through commission and the commission is lacking by far compared to any other real sales position, entry-level or not.
