Fastenal Machine Operator reviews

They have a weird pay structure

Pay was low. Benefits were expensive. Resources were almost nonexistent. Training was trial and error. Management were buffoons. The machines are (literally) 100 years old and not well maintained. This was not a good place to learn to become a proper machinist. Inspection standards were a joke. Quality didn't matter as long as you produced numbers. Overtime was paid on a weird schedule--two weeks or more after you worked it.
