Fastenal reviews

too much to list. Do you have atleast a week to get started. Unfair pay,unreasonable hours, unreasonable management,paycheck deductions and low commissions. The company has grown beyond themselves. The employess have become a number now. Either a positive # or negative # depending on your position and your numbers. Every time they give you a number to work on improving and you suceed - they just find another number to complain about. They run liability insurance on their branch-based vehicles so that they save money, then they back-charge the branch for vehicle repairs when they are damaged. These charges come off the profitability of the branch and thereby affect the commissions of the branch employees while corporate continues to enjoy the profits. They force the branches to charge un-reasonable freight charges on every invoice to pad the profits.Then they complain thats the branches are not charging enough freight. The branch locations have to work their asses off to pay for the warehouses and corporate employees and are still treated like second-hand citizens.

-Expectations, sales goals are out of sight. Unless a branch has exclusive rights to plants and mills, you wont hit goal. -Hours, read any other post, its a recurring theme, too many hours, not enough pay, and for the most part, those hours are all understaffed. -Prices, I felt like an A*%hole telling people certain prices. Their markup structure is shameful. Ask any employee who had to endure the customers reaction to certain quotes, being put down by mill workers and not being able to say anything back is just the highlight of my days *scarcasm*
