Pros

Fastenal is a great company to work for. The CEO is a very down to earth guy. You won't see the company spending money on anythig frivilous. It's strictly business. As a part-time employee, my General Manager is very encouraging and is very flexible with my schedule when my other job requires me to be there. The relationship that I have with the co-workers at m branch is very good. It is like a family when you work for Fastenal.

Cons

There really aren't many downsides to working for the company. I wish I got paid more, but then again, don't we all?

Pros

I like my coworkers and my GM is a good .

Cons

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.
