Vantaggi
Great work experience for a part time job while attending college. As a business major, I am getting a hands on understanding of how the supply chain works, sales experience, and using multiple Fastenal softwares. I am also challenging myself and problem solving, which is also good, valuable experience. Additionally, while this is not the industry I see myself in down the road, it's nice knowing you work for a company that tends to hire from within. All of my managers and higher ups started at the same position I'm in.
Svantaggi
Cons: Since selling hardware isn't considered the most fun, things definitely aren't super exciting on the job. It's an easy going and relaxed work culture, but there's a lot of time that moves pretty slowly. At least at my branch, there is a serious lack of diversity. Currently, there is probably 10 to 12 employees at my local branch, all of which are male. I think diversity is super beneficial in growing a company, and would like it if there was women working alongside us. However, based on the industry, it is understandable that there are way less women applicants applying for job.
