Avantages

Easy to obtain an entry-level full time position. It's also a great place to work during school as they are flexible with schedules, no weekends and pay part time competitively (likely due to MN wage laws for the most part).

Inconvénients

Everything is set up for the sales field so roles at corporate are left in the dust. Poverty line compensation with a bonus structure built off of nothing that you can influence unless you're in sales. They can (and will) reduce your bonus at any time due to market conditions - no other company does that, considering your bonus is not actually an incentive bonus but rather is half of the pay you're counting on to feed your family. Most of the people you have to work with are completely incompetent and have zero motivation to do a better than average job. Why would they when they get paid so horribly? I guess I can't blame them. It's an extremely frustrating place to be day after day when you actually care about your work and improving the company - sooner or later everyone else's negative attitudes and morale starts rubbing off on you too and next thing you know you're here writing a review and searching for a new job.

Avantages

They offer training programs through their internal “Fastenal School of Business.” A few good mentors to guide you should you find one and if you’re willing.

Inconvénients

* Work/Life Balance - No official WFH opportunities. Branch employees were told to report, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. 15 days of PTO (10 for vacation and 5 for sick). You don’t earn additional PTO until the start of the year following your 5 year anniversary. * Pay - pay is inconsistent and they find reasons to change your pay by eliminating and changing titles. Pay is below industry standard and is a base + bonus program for most roles. * Boys Club - Especially in MN/WI area. Positions created or filled for cast off tenured employees to find them another spot rather than termination. Promotions based on political moves instead of merit or opportunities for growth. Positions posted for new roles internally but sometimes not shared with teams to allow for those politically motivated decisons to fill a spot. If a role is only posted for 1-week vs 2-weeks, it usually means they have a specific candidate in mind to take that role. * Cheap & Tacky - Required to travel but not all meals are covered. Welcome to stay at hotel that offers free breakfast but no per diem for lunch or dinner. Some meetings or trainings might provide lunch. When traveling for team meetings or trainings, usually required to share rooms - sometimes with other employees you’ve never met. Encouraged to book rooms using discount codes provided by customers. There is a target room rate they’d like you to hit and sometimes it means driving out of the way. They’d rather the expense hit elsewhere such as fuel and travel versus the room rate.
