Pros

Offers insuance to part time employees

Cons

Extremely little training offered to employees. Basically we're shown something briefly and then told to sink or swim. Managers are supposed to go to a training store for a week when they get promoted. None of our team leads have ever gotten that training. Team lead 1 is supposed to put up anywhere from 20-2000 signs/tags throughout the store on Sundays while also being expected to do register back up, load outs, sell chicks, fill propane, and handle customer service. All that on top of cleaning the dog wash, handling returned and defective merchandise, front facing the entire store, counting the money at the end of the night, doing night locks and preparing closing paperwork. We have a group chat where team members are berated publicly on a regular basis. My day off is always interrupted by group chat drama between everyone. We are reminded that they will find better people to replace us if we can't uphold work standards. That may be justified if we weren't all working our tails off daily while short handed and doing our absolute best to make lemonade out of lemons. There is nonstop infighting due to the negative work environment. There's no support or praise for team members. We're lucky to keep employees more than a couple of months before they quit. Cashiers are made to push power plus plans and credit cards. If they miss a power plus, they have to explain why. Managers make about $15 an hour, team members make $13.50.

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.
