      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Fastenal

      Interview

      I was interviewed by my District Manager. I had seven years of experience so was basically given the job. They promote from within, and just want to see good numbers. If you can do well in an Outside Sales Position and you should be fine. There was no second interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you plan on improving the store? How would you handle a disgruntled employee?

      Online testing - interview with general manager, then district manager. hire in as part time inside sales support, promotion to outside sale includes more online testing, usually transferred to a different location, and a similar process to be promoted to general manager which includes an interview with regional vice president.

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Fastenal (Portland, OR) in Jan 2015

      Interview

      phone screening, and two interviews with different people. The interview process is comprised of a list of pre determined questions. They are fairly straight forward... what are your goals, what interests you about the position, etc.
