      Hypocritical - General Manager Fastenal Employee Review

      Pros

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

      Cons

      "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.

      Pros

      You get to meet great people along the way. POS system is a great tool.

      Cons

      Fastenal does not do performance reviews. Trying to get a raise is near impossible. When you ask for a raise they upper management says that you need to sell more..... Fastenal seems like it's trying to weed out there tenure employees and higher college grads with no experience and little pay to replace seasoned personnel.
