Pros

- Multi-million-dollar projects, great resume item to have. - Small company - chance to do a variety of things. - Lots of responsibilities. - Great "fun" job if you are single, and a male. - Starting salary is phenomenonal! Great salary adjustments, but salary adjusts down if you plan to have a family and settle down in one location.

Cons

- Good benefits on health care, but poor dental care plan. - Low vacation days; does not 'grow' with years of employment. - Long hours compensated with straight pay, NOT overtime pay (like others suggested). - Lots and lots of drinking events, be prepared to socialize at work and afterwork with the same people, otherwise it's a "CLM" (career limiting move). - Coworkers are divided into 3 groups (1) awkard and nerdy ones, (2) normal folks just here for a job and (3) cult followers whom religiously suck up to company managers and partners. Category (3) is the majority. - Flat organizational structure, not much room for growth for career-oritented folks.

Pros

FAST offers unbelievable benefits and the starting pay is outstanding for new college graduates. Also, if you are open-minded to travel and relocation, this couldn't be a better compnay to work for. You have the opportunity to be relocated to any of the national or international sites FAST sites.There are lots of social events and fundraising events. FAST is much more like a family than an employer.

Cons

If you aren't up for relocation, this may not be the right job for you. Also, most Fasties work a lot of overtime, which in this line of work is very easy to do. With that being said FAST also encourages you to take vacation time because, they acknowledge how hard their employees work.

Pros

Fast perpetuates a friendly, happy work environment. I feel like Fast makes a real effort to compensate its employees competitively. Due to the fact that Fast is still a moderately sized company, there is not a huge amount of "corporate red tape" that needs to be navigated. It is relatively easy to express opinions and ideas that can make the company successful. Employees can have input and that input is heard and acted upon. I personally enjoy the frequent moving to different locations. Fast makes every effort to ensure that these moves are as painless as possible.

Cons

Sometimes things that you thought were set in stone (like a relocation) change last minute and it can be difficult to adjust quickly.
