My experience with this company was mediocre. My time there wasn't terrible, but I knew it wasn't something long term. - Sales Fastenal Employee Review

Pros

I like working for smaller companies, employees are dispersed to branches within their sales territory. Therefore you are only typically working a few other people at your branch, which was nice because communication was easy.

Cons

Lack of training, poor pay, and limited employment grow opportunities.

Pros

You get to meet great people along the way. POS system is a great tool.

Cons

Fastenal does not do performance reviews. Trying to get a raise is near impossible. When you ask for a raise they upper management says that you need to sell more..... Fastenal seems like it's trying to weed out there tenure employees and higher college grads with no experience and little pay to replace seasoned personnel.
