Pluspunten

-Weekends off -Nights at home -Insurance and Benefits -Meet a lot of people -Great company to teach you time management -Stepping stone for better opportunities

Minpunten

-Spread too thin, Too many jobs for a 2.5 man crew to take care of. Had to do: Sales, Collections, Deliveries, Inventory Management at customers facilities, Customer walk-ins, Phones, Emails, Weekly reports, Stock, Inventory, Cleaning, packing orders, Packing for Vending, Purchasing, Safety checks, Maintaining the building, Maintain vehicles. List could continue -If something was broke in the store, we wouldn't get approval to fix these issues. Lights were burnt out, No Air condition, Fork truck needed repairs. -Goals are too far out of reach. Vending, Actives, Sales, FMI, Government, Metalworking, Safety, Bounty........ -Salary, so all those extra hours are unpaid. -Repetitive trainings that are more that 3 hours away sometimes 6-8 hours away -Unpleasant emails daily from DM and RVP. -Changing the structure on the commission payout. -Not much advancement after GM. -Removed the assistant manager position.

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.
