      Pros

      No Cap on commission potentials, lots of room to grow with the company, decentralized organization allowing you to run your branch much like your own business.

      Cons

      No employee/staff support, extremely lean ran company. No direct management or direct chain of command in crisis situations. Aggressively commission based to keep you motivated no support with salary increases no matter how long you work for the company

      Cons

      -The industry and products they sell are boring -Pay structure isn't great if you advance -Limited opportunity to advance past Branch Manager postion -Very "hands off" company, too many things are left unknown, and employee development isn't a priority -Fastenal seems "profit hungary" and doesn't value employees as their biggest assest -Tough to compete on price and value that other competitors maintain in this industry like Grainger
