Vantaggi
I try to take something positive from all experiences and from Fastenal there weren't many but I liked my coworker. Singular not plural. Leaving felt amazing.
Svantaggi
Managment is placed far passed their skill level. Manager trying to convince me Fastenal is a quality employer because " they're fortune 500" Fastenal is not in the fortune 500 as of the last report and what would that matter anyhow? A testament to their ignorance though. Encouraged not to focus on walkin customers. Poor inventory control. Shipments lost in transit frequently. Awful training. If you get " promoted" hourly wage drops dramatically. Pay for company shirt. I noticed on interview I was told 75 dollars for steel toe boots took me to store to buy cheapest 25 dollar boots could find, in managers defense on this one lots of turnover lots of boots. I was giving keys 2 hours into first day? Who does that? Fastenal. No yearly raises or cost of living increases. The canon city branch just looks in disarray very dirty cluttered store, accurate reflection of company in my view. Don't take my word do your research before getting involved with Fastenal. Good luck
