Review from Sales Dept

promote from within and opportunities

Decentralization, not micromanaged , great enviroment to be apart of

Getting to go home everyday away from that shithole

Review from Sales Dept

My manager is really cool we get along. I got great employess they really are the main reason i come in. I love those people.

Work staff is generally pleasant.

Always striving for more and better service

I can do my job without being micro managed. I get little to no feedback

Review from Operations Dept

At my store specifically is that we all get along. Culture is non-existent at Fastenal. The uppers just care about pleasing shareholders and don’t care who they lose in the proces

If you work hard and put your customers first you will grow with the company

The crew and customers make the job easier to do.

Our cultural values are usually followed and I can take charge and do what I feel is best but also have the support if I need it.

Review from Sales Dept

My boss. He is wonderful. Management is good

We all have the same goal

We come together when things get rough

Review from Operations Dept

Leaving work each day at end

Review from Sales Dept

Leaving at the end of the day

Review from Sales Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

It would be better if everyone was treated the same. It would be better if the wages were fairly paid. It would be better if the commission was higher. It would be better if you did the job he was hired to do and not had to do the job for five people. It would be better if they didn't allow bullying

Transparency, performance reviews, guidance, and lower level engagement. Bad apples are allowed to stick around far too long with no accountability.

Review from Sales Dept

Change anti-harassment policy. Zero tolerance should be the standard. Stop protecting long term employees who aren't meeting expectations or no longer benefitting the company, they are holding back others. It runs off a lot of good employees.

Managment needs to step up and take action. We rely on our part timers way too much. They do not need that job, if they leave we would be done for. District manager could care less about anything but our numbers. Its annoying.

a better environment and employees that are intelligent

Review from Operations Dept

I think it's a hopeless case, because they don't care and don't believe they need to. It's to easy to replace a part time person with another part time person.

Review from Operations Dept

Company expects employees to work in small, tight quarters because it's cheaper for them.

It needs to be safer as all the machines are unkept and break often, causing many injuries. There needs to be accommodations for those that pull long hours and need a snack and/or lunch. And management needs to care for their employees more.
