Pros

The hard physical work is great and rewarding. Interacting with customers is fun. The stated company mission and values are great.

Cons

Low pay, and the company will do it's best not to give you good raises (a 4% raise with inflation at 6% is not a raise). Management has an us/them mentality towards the team members and even the team leaders. Hours are constantly being cut. High turnover for team members makes it harder on those who stick around. Poor communication between management and team. Not enough time or people to do all the work = high stress.

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.
