Pluspunten
After a year at the company, they’ll pay for SANS training which is great. If you’re new to security, put your year in, get your cert, then run. The current manager of Security knows his stuff. The current senior manager of Networking/systems knows his stuff. Not a terrible place to work in IT if you like slow environments with red tape. Stock is pretty consistent, but you’ll never get any unless you’re a manager or choose to invest your 401k in it.
Minpunten
Fastenal, across all lanes of IT, pays in like the 20th percentile at BEST. Somehow they keep getting away with criminally underpaying everyone and it is truly amazing. Asking for raises will typically end up in gaslighting. Sloooow to progress. Way behind market trends. Time off? Ha you wish. Worst benefits ever. Old school management has zero clue how to manage remote workers. Zero diversity in senior leadership last I saw. It shows.
