Pluspunten

Co-workers are pleasant. Training program is excellent. Learn what you can and go to work for one of your customers.

Minpunten

"Growth through customer service" and "decentralized decision making" are the preached basis for Fastenal's success, yet high profit margins and micro-management are the reality. The result is overpriced products that fuel the Nascar program and agitated employees trying to make a commission-based pay on low sales. The inside joke is that they hire 24-year-olds for $24k to work for 24 months.

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.
