Pros

If you have a good manager and team, it can be fun. Customers are 99% great.

Cons

At the retail level, the company is VERY cheap and doesn't support its employees. Low wages with minimal raises even if your reviews are high. Starting pay at the DC is much better than 10 years at retail. Corporate (the district manager and above) doesn't support the employees much if there is a problem within the system. If you are looking for retail work, you will get a much higher wage elsewhere. The amount of hours for parttime fluctuate so much that you should not depend on working much even if you are a good employee. The motto of work hard, have fun make money is more like work hard, have fun (if you have a good team) and forget about the money you ain't gonna get it.

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.
