Pros

Benefits and the fact that you only have to deal with middle management maybe once a month. Everything else about this company is a joke!

Kontras

Firstly, expect zero respect about your work ethic or intelligence from middle management. Trust me when I say there is no good enough. The pay structure is designed for you to never increase income. If you are on of the few lucky ones who begins getting high commissions, they milk you dry, fire you, then find someone to do your job for half the pay. The continually promise you things then renig on the offer and deny every proposing it in the first place. You will be expected to drive to other stores further way if they decide that's where they want you. Of course they will tell you that you will receive gas reimbursment, but you will not. As for the job itself, upper management expects unrealistic results, and does not help at all. In fact im not sure what the majority of management even does. The warehouse support is completely unreliable, which makes branch employees time and time again look like idiots. Still, in all those instances we are blamed. They even have an anual super sale where we have a goal to hit, and half the products on there we cannot stock at the store! And a quarter of those aren't stocked at our distribution centers, and they are made over seas so we have no option to bring them in. Honestly, what kind of legitiment business puts out a super sales promotion and come of the items aren't even obtainable!? I really do not understand how in the world this company became as big as they did. Either things were different years ago, or the excessive penny pinching pays off!

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.
