Fastenal Employee Reviews in Edmonton, AB

If you ask for a raise they either tell you come back at the end of the quarter or that there is a hiring freeze. If you want to make mediocre money this is the job for you. If you want to be able to say you're proud of your employer, don't apply here.

Pros

Paid lunches, no one really cares.

Cons

Can be hard work, no room for advancment.

Worst Place to work on 190st and 111ave location

Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 7 August 2019

Bad General Manager. Play head games with staff. The general manager encourages other staff to play along with his games. The general manager picks on people who he thinks is below him or don't give him the attention he is looking for.

Pros

Good salary when FT with bonuses

Cons

The GM likes to harass his staff

How is this company still making profit?

Inventory Assistant (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 3 May 2016

There was always work for me to do, but I was never really held to any standards. Just show up before the bosses did and I was never considered late. This place is the epitome of casual, so if you don't care about benefits, getting raises, or any sort of incentive, but you just want to work with little to no effort, this is the place for you.

Pros

Could be lazy or work hard, didn't matter so long as there was just enough to show you were present.

Cons

Promised raises and bonuses, but never got either

Warehouse Associate (Shipper) (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 7 January 2016

I was a part time evening shipper, so I was responsible for order picking, packaging, operating a forklift, sorting packages and loading trucks for delivery. Great team oriented environment.

Long haul cross border truck driver (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 4 October 2015

Poor management, low moral, low pay and they treat employees with absolute disrespect. They will treat you nice until your start work and then you are nothing more than a slave.
