Pros

TSC Customers are by far the best part of the job. Then working with other Team Members. There are many in management that care about the people and it shows at times. I truly feel that the collective group of executives want to do the right thing. The reality is the cons listed below.

Cons

The company is working hard to pay Store Managers & others less money every year and pushing to make the bonus's less. The culture is changing with company growth. While the mission and values that was once in place is fading into the sunset. Company hits wall street numbers on the backs of Team Members, always cutting payroll yet the expectations do not reduce along with that payroll reduction. The company struggles to hit the margins they need to hit, so in return the money must come from other sources. Many now feel they are simply an employee number given when you start work. It's not a human life you're dealing with you're xxx-xxx and decisions are made simply on that basis. The company is riding high and stockholders are being rewarded but I Believe the clock is ticking.

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.
