Fastenal reviews

- Much of the management are disconnected from the people in their teams. I have seen numerous people get passed over for promotions in favor of less qualified individuals. I know of people who were unethical to customers not get fired and I've seen others get fired for honest mistakes. - Fastenal doesn't value its employees yet demand unwavering loyalty. - Pay is well below industry average. Commissions are terrible. - The benefits are terrible. Only offer 10 days of PTO for the first FIVE YEARS. No reimbursement for cell phone for employees expected to be in the field 75% of their time. No paternity leave. No ability to work from home. - No bonuses or even annual raises. I worked in the same role for 6 years and was still making the minimum base when I left. For Christmas they'll send you a box of junk food. - Very cheap organization, won't hire new people full time and expect qualified individuals to work part time for months. This creates a huge labor deficit and overworks current employees. - Decades behind on implementing technology into the business. The website search function is one of the worst I've ever seen. Most employees search products on google in order to find on Fastenal.com. - Awful marketing, Instead of ranking on google or buying radio ads they spend money on a NASCAR and having the logo on NHL ice.

The stores management is unethical, throws perfectly good inventory away and does not send out a national customers invoices when the customer wants them. Management also does not follow corporate policies, is very disrespectful to employees, gossips daily about employees, makes false accusations against employees and has threatened employees. Store Management is also against paying overtime even when employees had to work overtime due to helping customers.
