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

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.
