Fastenal reviews

District Manager can micromanage a lot Really not decentralized decision making, district managers try to have a foot in everything A lot of hard work and not great Sales pay Benefits could be better There goal is to benefits there pockets more then the customer (vending machines or customers that don't need them, and bin stock for smaller customers that don't need them)

36k base, I can only imagine the base outside a major city, no raises (was told sell more to gain commission), paid on sales, growth, margin, & AR. Commission cap at 55% margin (if margin exceeded 55% you do not get paid on it even though you did the work to gain it), when customers don't pay their bills within net terms Fastenal takes it from your commission, if you do not grow vertically (year over year) it hits your pay check, you are given employees but they are paid nothing and turnover occurs which in the long run affects the manager, performance based compensation, "here do this with this" and when you reach or exceed their goals it's not enough "sell more", sales numbers and margin is tweeked at the end of the month to prevent additional commission being paid out (watch out they steal from you)
