Pluspunten

Because of high turnover you can become Branch Manager very quickly regardless of talent of knowledge. This will at least look good on your resume. You will learn a lot about how public owned business operates. You can meet some great people, that if you stay in touch with, you can recruit later.

Minpunten

Executive management is highly insentivised by stock options, therefore, all decisions are made for growth and profit. ex: Payroll, benifits, promotions, firing, headcount, locations. Ethics are expected, and actually taught to branch and district personel, but not followed by regional and/or executive management. Headcount model has been prosicuted by the Department of Labor numerous times. Pay is sub par with the rest of the industry.

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.
