Pros

Flexable work hours, fair benefits, nice customer base, close knit employee base.

Cons

Full time is considered 30 hours and up, so don't expect to see many 40 hours checks unless you are one of the few. Management is expected to fill in when hours are cut and staff is short. Makes for low manangement pay. Work load requires triple of the people working. Value and mission statements are one of the biggest jokes among employees. Managers have been poorly prepared for what they will actually face once in the store. All team members are considered to be theives. Discriminates against the older worker. Overstocked on useless product, understocked on product that will actually sell. So understaffed no time for training even if corporate demands 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.
