Pros

Fastenal is a great company to work for. The CEO is a very down to earth guy. You won't see the company spending money on anythig frivilous. It's strictly business. As a part-time employee, my General Manager is very encouraging and is very flexible with my schedule when my other job requires me to be there. The relationship that I have with the co-workers at m branch is very good. It is like a family when you work for Fastenal.

Cons

There really aren't many downsides to working for the company. I wish I got paid more, but then again, don't we all?

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.
