no training at all. If you have no experience in industrial/construction products, you will sink. - Sales Trainee/OSP bei Fastenal: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Pros

The people I worked with were very friendly and were willing to help me as much as possible.

Kontras

This company runs lean on everything, including employees. At my store, we had the GM, myself, and a part time sales support person. During my first 2 weeks, I had no formal training and was left alone in the store for hours on end. I had no idea what I was doing or what the products were/where they were located due to lack of training. When people would call or come in and ask questions, my only resort was to call my GM and see if I could get ahold of him on his cell while he was filling vending machines or trying to make a sale. Not his fault, he had no time to train me.

Pros

I like my coworkers and my GM is a good .

Kontras

The business model and lean staffing is simply unsustainable. Entry level pay, part time, little training, no commissions. Fastenal is focused on the sale rather than the customer. The wing it mentatility leaves customer service lacking. It's a roll coaster of putting one fire out after the other. They sale the position during the interview process but after your in there's empty promises with no real timelines for when the advancement is coming. Upper management seems out of touch with the day to day business. If you ask for help they simply say you have a good schedule. It's extremely disappointing that it has turned out this way because I was excited about the prospect of becoming an Account manager.
