Pluspunten

Excellent Skill Development in many aspects of the business. For someone starting out, this is an excellent company to work for to gain your skills and experience! I learned how to sell, and am now a very good salesman. I had two great store managers to work for out of three while I was at Fastenal. They have some great people in their organization that a person can gain a lot of knowledge from.

Minpunten

High expectation of output with low compensation. I felt like I was giving them my all, but didn't feel like they were willing to do the same back. The pay was salary + commission, but I felt like the commission percentage was far too low. It was also fairly difficult to figure out exactly what you were going to get paid. They had a very odd calculation with many different factors in it to figure out your paycheck.

Pluspunten

Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

Minpunten

Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
