Pluspunten

Great place to learn and develop industrial sales skills and product knowledge. You get working knowledge of all industrial commodities and you are exposed to a vast array of customer types. Great place to learn to efficiently run a business while wearing many if not all the hats. I do love my job as far as servicing my customers but the upper management make it harder than it should be.

Minpunten

High pressure with minimal pay. "Three month rolling average" growth model in commission system is shady. Limited corp resources to help grow business. Costing on products is convoluted and (real) margins questionable.

Pluspunten

I like my coworkers and my GM is a good .

Minpunten

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.
