Fastenal reviews

The pay plans are horrible and keep getting worse and worse. When I was promoted to GM, I thought that the pay would be a better then OSP. I was dead wrong. I work 50 plus hours a week for about 12.oo an hour. I had to work a part time job on weeknights and weekends until things picked up in my area. If you read the previous reviews, you can see no one is happy with the pay plan. A lot of other OSP's and GM's in the area are currently looking for higher paying jobs. Its allot of stress not really knowing your pay month to month. They pay you off year over year growth and high margin. I would have never wasted my time with this job knowing how bad the pay plans are. They even take money out of your pay for having excess inventory or when customers don't pay on their account on time. I would stay with Fastenal if they compensated the employees fairly. Its not even close! This job is not for anyone with a family with a mortgage and a few bills. Good luck!

The pay structure is terrible. Your base salary is very low, and you only get 2% commission on your sales unless you grow, and even then it is not very much at all. If they "value" their employees like they say they do they would pay us more, instead of filling their pockets with our hard earned money. They also have very high expectations for us Sales guys, which I would not mind working very hard to hit, if I knew that I was going to be compensated well for.
