      Gain experience, Low pay, Long hours, and a Few good times

      General manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      To gain experience coming right out of college

      Cons

      Pay and hours expected to work. Could accomplish just as much or more work in a shorter amount of time but forced to stay during store business hours. Plus, to cut cost Fastenal made us get rid of our water cooler service and we are required to buy our own water, no water fountains available. I know this sounds ridiculous but for the overall year Fastenal is showing growth over 2007 numbers, and for that the reward is denied free access to one of the basic needs of life.

      Dead end job, use to get your career started

      General manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Easy way to get your foot in the door with little experience. You typically dont need a degree and they dont really check references. If you have decent sales skills and a good appearance you should be ok. Emphasize your willingness and excitement for outside B2B cold calling.

      Cons

      Little room for advancement, poor pay. The pay is good to start but the market is extremely competitive. If you want to advance the only way is Mgmt. You must be required to relocate where the position is available. Also, if it outside of your district preference will be given to those who work in that district. Make sure your RVP knows you.

      Fastenal - the company you want to work for

      Sales support

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fastenal is a great company to work for. The CEO is a very down to earth guy. You won't see the company spending money on anythig frivilous. It's strictly business. As a part-time employee, my General Manager is very encouraging and is very flexible with my schedule when my other job requires me to be there. The relationship that I have with the co-workers at m branch is very good. It is like a family when you work for Fastenal.

      Cons

      There really aren't many downsides to working for the company. I wish I got paid more, but then again, don't we all?
