Fastenal reviews

Long hours Conflicting goals between the branches and national accounts You will never have a sense of accomplishment for longer than 15 minutes Too much is expected out of employees Employees are spread so thin they can only put about 50% effort into each responsibility Never will you get a raise in base salary Fastenal gets sued and decides to pay all managers a minimum of $50k per year. On the surface this looks good but when dig deeper, its just a reward for under performing, loss producing stores. If you busted your butt to earn the $50k on your own your store is doing $80 grand per month. Now you can do $6 grand a month and have no experience and make the same amount. And we wonder why people quit.

50-60+ hour work weeks. No overtime pay. You will never get a raise from your base. Its hard to make the kind of money that people I graduated with make while I work there.
