Pros

A lot of freedom! You set your own pricing to your customers and your always on the road in a nice truck. If you land the right account you could be set for a while, but it's very hard to land with current compeition. Full medical and dental and it was pretty easy to take a day off.

Kontras

Pay was one of the lowest around for outside sales, no personal car, no cell phone, and your make A LOT of calls!!! Outside sales position always got screwed with commission. Managers made decent commission but expect to work almost 60+ hrs a week.You work a minimum of 50 hours a week, and you have to be in the office at 7am! This is more of a job for people that like to work by themselves. Each store will have 2-5 employees depending on success of the store, so if you don't have a cool manager you're screwed!

Pros

I like my coworkers and my GM is a good .

Kontras

The business model and lean staffing is simply unsustainable. Entry level pay, part time, little training, no commissions. Fastenal is focused on the sale rather than the customer. The wing it mentatility leaves customer service lacking. It's a roll coaster of putting one fire out after the other. They sale the position during the interview process but after your in there's empty promises with no real timelines for when the advancement is coming. Upper management seems out of touch with the day to day business. If you ask for help they simply say you have a good schedule. It's extremely disappointing that it has turned out this way because I was excited about the prospect of becoming an Account manager.
