      Working at Fastenal has taught me to lower my expectations and trust no one. - Anonymous employee Fastenal Employee Review

      Pros

      Upper management seldom visits the stores. There are many freedoms that other companies do not offer. Getting time off is easy. If you like spreadsheets and playing a 'numbers game' then you'll do fine.

      Cons

      The company preaches things like integrity, but morals take a back seat to profitability. This statement is true in all aspects of the business. Don't bring attention to this flaw in the system or you will be blacklisted. You will be told that in order to be successful you must 'do whatever it takes' to succeed. In my case, this meant working no less than fifty hours and up to seventy hours per week. It also meant driving my own car instead of a company truck.

      Pros

      Great company culture, love the investment they put in for career advancement. Great people to work with, CEO is amazing but he's stepping down this month. Benefits are good. Decentralized organization so your ideas and solutions actually get listened to and implemented. Feel like I'm actually making a difference in the company.

      Cons

      Pay is lower than the industry average for most departments and they don't keep up with the cost of living, don't do bonuses (unless you're in sales) or pay raises. You have to ask to get one and most times they say no. Very male dominant at the branches and in sales, but many women in corporate leadership. Don't have any DEI initiatives. Not flexible on relocation for internal management roles, have to be at corporate HQ in Winona, MN.
