Pluspunten

Fastenal really is a great place to work. The people I work with are great and get along really good. The freedoms while out doing sales calls and deliveries can be a plus. Driving a newer truck is great and makes you feel good. Everything about Fastenal is great accept the pay. I would give them a 5 star rating accept the pay is horrible! If you are a young person wanting to get good experience is sales with a single person pay, Fastenal is your place. And then move on as fast as you can.

Minpunten

The pay plans are horrible and keep getting worse and worse. When I was promoted to GM, I thought that the pay would be a better then OSP. I was dead wrong. I work 50 plus hours a week for about 12.oo an hour. I had to work a part time job on weeknights and weekends until things picked up in my area. If you read the previous reviews, you can see no one is happy with the pay plan. A lot of other OSP's and GM's in the area are currently looking for higher paying jobs. Its allot of stress not really knowing your pay month to month. They pay you off year over year growth and high margin. I would have never wasted my time with this job knowing how bad the pay plans are. They even take money out of your pay for having excess inventory or when customers don't pay on their account on time. I would stay with Fastenal if they compensated the employees fairly. Its not even close! This job is not for anyone with a family with a mortgage and a few bills. Good luck!

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.
