Pros

Pay was okay for the area and for a cheap apartment. I liked stocking and working with the birds.

Cons

The assistant manager could go off on you randomly at any moment, even if everything was fine before. I heard he drove out other employees before me as well. She mocked a cashier behind her back for not knowing some things when the cashier was only trained as a cashier and acted like that employee wasn't going to actually help me stock some stuff. I never had any issues with that employee. I was expected to work cashiering and another department nearby and lectured/yelled at when I didn't get to the cash register fast enough or realize someone was there when I was busy doing stuff in the other department, and I also got yelled at/lectured when I didn't go back to that department fast enough because I was worried about making a customer wait at the cash register.

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.
