Pros

Nothing about Fastenal is good. My coworkers and dedication to my customers are the only reason why I am still here.

Cons

I'm going to try and make this short and to the point. Mansco has lost around 20 amazing employees due to the insanity of Fastenal abruptly stopping our use of our prior ERP Sage. We have lost large customers, countless product, our "processes" are HORRIBLE. We are given 0 notice on important decisions that effect the company; i.e stopping our quoting program, taking away our old erp, With absolutely nothing to take it's place. I have no idea how Fastenal is still in business. This company is so poorly managed and everyone who is given a company vehicle is too blinded to see its flaws. The amount of work that is piling on current employees is sickening. I am truly afraid that we are going to lose more employees in the upcoming months, and they won't be replaced. Rumors are circulating that the landlord will not sell to Fastenal as the lease is expiring in two years. They don't take care of the building, the place is a disgusting hole. Lawsuits galore. Fastenal is sue happy but it ends up turning around on them. I have never worked anywhere so disorganized and pathetic.

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.
