Pros

The company was willing to train its workers, at least those who were willing to go through it. Learned a lot about sales, and about many MANY different products. Generally satisfactory management, though it all depends on the person.

Cons

Pay was disappointing, but its retail I guess. There was a lack of leadership during a period where our store manager left for a different position within the company, took forever to get a replacement, especially as most of our key carriers had left. With only two key holders, it should not take months to get a replacement for a position that everybody knew was opening up.

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.
