Pros

None. Treat like a dog

Cons

If you want to be mistreated and suffer inhumane treatment this is the place for you. The Company as a whole doesn't get it! They hire people with major mental defects and let them rain down with insults and threats. I worked for a three weeks and left the organisation. Fastenal is not only a worst company to work with but it is an hippocratic organisation. which does not follow ethical values and in the veil of local company it is exploiting youth &; hypnotising indian society. Work culture is fully dreadful & insulting people in a bully manner try to debase and demoralise you. This is a turn and burn place. Everybody comes and leaves like crazy. They do not give respect and will treat you like nothing at all. They do not care at all about you. They have products like their old managers that do not work and would rather use to business. I have actually seen this in Bangalore center saying no idea how they deal with projects. I just got scared and i realized my carrier is in DANGER. I left the company in two weeks. VERY SCARED AND END OF YOUR LIFE IF SOMEONE CONTINUE HERE. Moreover there starts brain washing procedure for new joinees for distorting one's personality to become a slave.Respective managers in various sections of the company are, rashless,irresponsible and cruel. Even you will not get leave for getting medical treatment ,if ill. If you press more on vacation that would be your last working day. Boss expects chamchagiri from subordinate & asign pity work which unethical in nature. A straightforward and hard working person can not work in the company unless he disown his itegrity and self respect to the boss. Rest other people like top management of Fastenl India and few managers are scum. These people show highest level of arrogance .These people have made Fastenal tabela. Where theirselves and theirs spoons enjoys all femdom while real hardworker becomes idiot and leaves organisation in shameful condition. If somebody wants to join Fastenal India please beware ,its living hell where you will loose your self respect , dignity and your competence. Otherwise welcome to the hell.

Not very employee friendly

Pros

Schedule is great. You can leave work at work. Really relaxed atmosphere. Co workers are great. Build a lot of connections

Cons

Pay is awful for what we did. You get the feeling that you are disposable/ replaceable. Upper Management is always complaining about what we did wrong. The store employees are blamed for 90% of the companies problems, even problems that only upper management seem to have access to fix or change. Had to push programs that seemed to be very ineffective and unresponsible.

Pros

Some career advancement Holiday and weekends off

Cons

10 hour days 5 days a week-- no overtime. Changing pay scale-- usually in favor of the company not the sales person. Corp is always changing the sales focus. Eg: vending one month, margin the following. Lack of communication between corporate and stores. Lack of yearly reviews/hard to acquire a raise. Horrible technology: POS System, Vending management software, website.
