Pros

No Drug Test and Easy Base Money. Freedome to plan out your day as far as who you decide to go see. You can be as productive or as sloth as you choose. There are some days where you can choose to do almost nothing. Those are what I call "working off days". Everyone needs them from time to time to keep the brain fresh and the body free from stress. It only helps to preserve your longevity as you bust your ass for the company. The lower level people appreciate it and will tell you at the drop of a dime.

Cons

Long Hours, Robotic Processes, Doing the Work of the Professional People who feel like they shouldn't have to do it. There's is no way they pay enough to do all the work I am supposed to do. Ifg people did their jobs instead of piling it on me and my job title, then life would be so much easier. You have people in positions with degrees for their field and fell like they shouldn't have to do thneir specified jobs. Piling it on people who can't do your job as well as you can only creates more problems and creates bigger hassles.

Pros

To learn why you don't want to make a career of working for large greedy corporations.

Cons

Pretty much the whole ball of wax. From getting screwed on pay, to working for free. Working for a company that regards the stock holders above the employee. Age discrimination, check out the average age of the employee, all to save on the benefits they offer. All the old guys work in Wino, the rest are the cattle, who are replaced, just like slaughtered cattle.

Pros

The best reasons to work at Fastenal is the growth Opportunities and unlimited income potential! You can work as hard as you can, and the rest takes care of itself. Sales is usually the starting point and it should be a fun challenge. I enjoy it because no two days are the same. There are always new challenges, whether in gaining new accounts or building on what you already have started! I also like that I can get management to listen to me at any time. They are always open to suggestions and love to hear what is working for me.

Cons

It can be stressful at times and there is a lot of competition for accounts. Also, there seems to be a gap between the store employees and being noticed my management because of company size.
