Pros

Long tenured associates that know TSC Farming, Livestock, Power Equipment really help meet customer needs, and made my job, as Store Manager more efficient and effective. Good Monthly Sales Bonus, for associates and management. Have authority to make things right with customer service concerns and problems. HR has your back if there is any disciplinary problems with associates.

Cons

Very Poor Management Training! First 3 weeks was a 10 hour a day cashier! Lack of leadership, mostly self study and asked a lot of questions from tenured associates; District Manage was constantly distracted by personal and business phone calls and vested little if any support at all. Training Manager was only interested in her $1000 bonus if I got a store. Annual raise first year only 1% for all store managers in 2010.

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.
