Avantages

I work at an in-plant which is hands down the best place to be as a sales/sales support employee. I am constantly learning and I interact with customers all day everyday in a laid back atmosphere. High autonomy as long as you get your job done. They don't micromanage me (this is not what I've heard about working in a store). Overall, great place to start your career right out of college. If you're intelligent and a hard worker, you can and will move up quickly although you will almost certainly have to relocate to do so.

Inconvénients

They start all new inexperienced employees out at part-time which is great if you're going to school and can graduate and move immediately into a full-time position but if you're already out of school, it's hard to live off of part-time. It takes at least 6 months to get to a full-time position.

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.
