Pros

Flexible hours (part time workers only). Plenty of opportunities for advancement due to high turnover, although I don't recommend it.

Cons

Too much physical work for the pay, you'll find yourself in 100 degree heat loading 30 wood posts for a customer with no help. If you are a hard worker you will be working every single freight day, and you'll start to notice you're doing the most work every single week while certain others stand around and waste time. The company will not invest in equipment to make the job easier, you will be moving 2000lb pallets of feed with pallet jacks that barely roll. Stores are cramped and DC often sends too much merchandise every week, you are expected to make this freight disappear yet there is nowhere for it to go. You'll get a 15% employee discount which is useful for certain items like premium dog food, but for most things you can still get them cheaper at WalMart. If you are a hard worker the company will want you to "move up" to be a Team Lead, but in my opinion it isn't worth the extra headache for only an extra $1 an hour. Managers come and go. If you don't like your boss just wait 6 months and you'll have another one.

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.
