Pluspunten

-Discounts are a benefit if your a gear head, fastener prices are great for employees, not so much everything else. -Quick days, you will always be busy -Other employment options, Since you work with so many different companies, you are putting your skills on show for other employers, I was offered five different jobs while just behind the counter -While some may not appreciate it, I enjoyed having to call vendors for P/A. Being from west coast, getting to call the EC and be able to say I spoke to people from six states in a day was kinda fun. -Frieght, Blue Global is actually pretty effective, minus any IHUB mistake

Minpunten

-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*

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

* 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.
