Pluspunten
-Initial 3 month period there is overtime -Driving a Dodge Ram! -Great sales experience; territory management, B2B, cold calling, account managing... all sales experiences here will equate to greater success in the future -Meeting with blue collar customers (more laid back, friendly, outgoing) -Traveling occasionally to locations such as Wynona, MN (loved it there, met many great people that work for the company), Indianapolis, Orlando, etc -Great week long training in Wynona... very informative, will learn many sales techniques
Minpunten
Where to start... -Poor pay and commission/bonus structure -I was told I would be an outside sales associate, yet I'm stuck working in the store 90% of the time -Horrible upper management that makes false promises -Never able to handle any account that performs over $500 month -I was told branch I'd be going into is successful (it was bottom performing branch) -Managers are often egomaniacal and do not care about their employees -You WILL meet some absolutely rude customers (not Fastenal's fault) -INSULTING christmas bonus (a box of candy? Wow, thanks Fastenal) -Insane amount of competition out there
