Pros

On my third day with this company I found myself holding a bow and arrow, a shotgun, learning to mix cocktails, and making dimsims, to say being a part of this company is an awesome experience would be an understatement! Not to mention a free all expenses paid trip to Mexico within the first 5 months of working here. But do not be fooled there are long hours and immense brain power involved, but trust me, its all worth it! If you are someone that enjoys learning new things daily, and meeting people from all walks of life then this company is perfect. The pay is good, and the opportunity to move within the company is common and likely; being a FASTie is envied upon because of how real and understanding our employer is. The partners and owner are down to earth, friendly, humble, and all round great human beings.. which is crazy! This is seriously the greatest company in the world and I love working here because of the culture, people, values, and benefits. Thanks FAST.

Cons

There is a lot of energy required for this role, and it is difficult to complete daily targets at times because the work load can be demanding. The pace of the roles are also rapid and the learning model is to discover rather than be told - which is a great way to retain information - and it's what some people thrive on, and some don't.

Pros

I have been with FAST for over four years now and been assigned to both US and international sites. In that time, I feel FAST has given me opportunities for personal and professional growth beyond what I could have expected when I first started. The small project sizes (typically less than 30 people) make it easy to develop relationships with your coworkers, while the large size of the company as a whole (~1000) make it interesting to meet and learn from a variety of people. I feel FAST has given me all the room in the world to grow professionally and not only taken an interest in how I want to further my career, but given me the tools and opportunities to do so. They have addressed my concerns when I have had them and definitely cultivate a culture of "one big happy family".

Cons

For me, the uncertainty of knowing where I will be in the next year (or less) begins to grate after a while; it is difficult to make long term plans when you don't know where you will be living next until approximately a month before you move there. The long hours are stressful and wear you down after a few months of it. Additionally, as the company has grown, it has lost some of the personal touches that used to make the employees feel like FAST really cares about them as people. Administratively, there is more red tape then there used to be, which is difficult to swallow for older employees who are used to a different way of things.
