Pros

Huge company has many resources for purchasing and training specifically. Great online training programs and I think upper management has good intentions and are good leaders.

Cons

Me, Me, Me culture overall. All about “my business”, “my district”, and of course “my commission”. GMs are trying to work the system, District Managers are trying to work the system, and no one really cares if the company actually succeeds. District Managers make or break huge areas. They are the only interaction that many Fastenal employees have with someone not in their store, and that can be a very bad thing if you have the wrong person in a position.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
