Pros

I was a cashier for Tractor Supply for 3 years, mostly during high school. Had a great manager and a great team. We all got along and was really sad when I left.

Cons

Have you ever watched Office Space? where the corporate honchos showed up and were completely disconnected from reality? That was the feeling we all got from those in corporate. It felt like it was front line workers vs. corporate all the time. Even the regional managers seemed to be disconnected from how to run a business. They would require our manager to cut back on hours and save on payroll during our busiest time of the year, resulting in him working 70-75 hour weeks. He was probably one of the best managers I have ever had, and it was very frustrating to see him treated so badly. He finally left, as did many other general managers within the company I now hear.

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.
