Pros

As long as you give 110% and blood sweat and tears the company will reward you at the end of the year with a year end bonus and plaques.

Cons

Long hours, high turnover, high expectations. It's difficult to hire quality associates on minimum wage and expect them to perform at all costs when they could go down the street and get paid 2 or 3 more dollars an hour doing the same job. Over worked team on skeleton crew due to payroll cuts. Regardless of your stellar work performance favoritism is very strong among DM's and who they help, promote and transfer.

Pros

You can count on getting biweekly paychecks.

Cons

Words do not exist to adequately describe just how dysfunctional the FAST organization has become. The problem isn’t the people—it’s the structure. Every level of FAST is treated as second-class by Operations, but the hourly FTMs bear the brunt of it. They’re expected to execute impossible workloads while navigating resistance, conflicting priorities, and a complete lack of operational ownership. FAST leadership regularly talks about holding stores and Operations accountable. Yet the moment accountability creates friction or invites criticism, they retreat instead of standing behind their teams. The result is predictable: the people doing the work lose confidence that anyone above them will support them when it matters most. A department cannot succeed when it has responsibility without authority, accountability without support, and expectations without organizational commitment. That’s the reality of FAST today. It’s not just disappointing—it’s unsustainable.
