Good for starter.

Pros

All the colleague was very helpful, the working environment is pretty good, though it can be hectic depending on the week. It can be a good stepping stone for a freshie.

Cons

The leaders were not transparent enough. As a sales staff, the salary + bonus was not worth the amount of workload you do every month.

Pros

I loved my position, The pay may not be there at the beginning, but they promote and give raises to the ones that work hard. The environment is labor intensive but not too horrible just a lot of boxes moved and restocking customers. They are not one to micromanage and they have really good teams that help get you all the knowledge/ resources you need. Other side of the coin, there are bad teams and bad managers, that's everywhere though

Cons

There is a cap to growth in the sales side, There are so many departments that you can transfer over to but after a certain growth it become really niche/ degree-oriented positions

Pros

Great team to work with and great resources available to help you succeed in your role. Leadership works to prepare you for your next step within Fastenal no matter if it's a risk to them losing you on their team.

Cons

Don't have much for complaints. Compensation is based on growth so be cautious of that if you expect a lot on guaranteed salary.
