Car Pool Car Wash

This job is a very gem! As long as you are willing to come to work and work outside it is easy to work the job. Too many people however, come and go, because they are a bunch of lazy people and do lots of callouts or quit without their 2 week notices properly.. The general manager gives you a huge trunk of 80 calories tiny bottle Gatorades when it hits 90 degrees at least. this is not a salary job so you should just get another job on the side to make sure you are livng by. People who gain the most money for sure are the managers, then supervisors, the inspectors and service advisors. This is a great job on the otherhand because you get paid a starting hourly pay and tips. Because we just got a new tip machine, we are getting higher higher tips than before so its more bang for our bucks! my work here was literally just vaccumming cars that is it. easy as cake. people here are very nice to get along if you do the easy job and work. sometimes occasionally we get lunch paid for free by our managers. if we are busy as bells, we get lots of tips. If we are slow however, they send some people home if too many employees. Only downside to this job is the weather, if it rains you get not paid! sometimes we all get done early or have no work at all. it is essentially a waiting game if we have to delay work to a later time when we got to sit down and wait for the managers to constantly send us text messages. Best of all here we get free employee washes each week.  This is a easy manual labor job where you are literally burning a bell of calories the whole day than a boring office job where you are not burning calories. this is definate job for anyone who has not experience or wants a job to pay some money for them bills. This is defintate job for anyone who likes exercising for work and standing in the sun all day. do not worry they company provides you t shirts, beanies, caps, winter coats too! they come out of your paycheck sadly, but you can get it back on your tax refund such goodly!

CarPool starts all employees off at minimum wage. Every employee receives one free wash per week, which is nice as the wash does do a very good job. There are many opportunities for advancement, and you can get as much as a three dollar an hour raise in a year's time. However, if it is a slow day, management will often make you sit in the break room for up to four hours before they decide to let you clock in. After you do clock in, you can often get two one hour breaks, leaving you with a total of three hours paid for being at work for nine. They expect you to run yourself ragged, ex. vacuuming an entire car in under three minutes, 150+ times a day. Some days you will get a slow day, 50-100 cars, more often you will get 250-450+. If it is a busy day, no matter if your work ten hours or four, do not expect a break, it will not happen. If you have to leave for a family emergency on a busy day, it will not happen. If you do leave, prepare to be terminated upon return. If you ask for a day off in advance, you will most likely get it, but you will be called in by management if they get busy. If you refuse to come in on an off day, asked for or scheduled, you will be written up no matter the reason. Management will scold you, curse, and scream in your face in front of customers if you start to slow down even a little from tiring, even if you have been working nine hours in 100 degree heat with no break. Most of the co-workers are fun to be around, and can make up for the horrible way management treats you, however, when everyone gets upset, it's not much fun. Most customers are very nice, and very tolerant if you accidentally miss a spot, or are slowed by a long day. However, some will curse you out for not scrubbing a bug off the bumper that you did not see, or scrubbing out a pre-existing stain in a cloth seat. CarPool does not touch cloth seats at most locations.

Because everyone here is hourly pay, we depend on the hours we have to get paid. If that means bad weather, you do not work. You do not get paid even if you are scheduled. We depend on our own hours and tips we get at the end of each shift. Also, even if you get put for FT on the application, they only put you as PT. I was literally stationed only to do vacuuming, no other section (not waxing nor washing). let us see how this goes. You better get another side job at night to accommodate this to pay the bills. Management is nice and relaxed. They do not come to bother you at all unless the business is in a rush literally. They do text you to let you know if work is "canceled" or "on wait" depending on if the weather is. That can mean going day by day. This is a nice workplace to get manual labor experience and you do not have to talk to a lot of people, however, I wish the pay was given on even days we do not work due to weather.  Coworkers are nice and helpful so you do not work alone. Sometimes if the weather is nice, you get a lot of cars and you work work work! Sometimes if the weather is bad you get cars sporadically all day and you get to relax with your mates. Do expect to get busy in lunch hours at peak times! If you need income to pay the bills, this is ok, but you may look for another job instead of this to get a guaranteed paycheck.

If your looking for a great starting-out job, Car Pool’s a great place to start. They’re super flexible when it comes to your schedule and even if you’re just looking for something part-time they’re willing to work with you. Pay rates seem to be what drives people nowadays, but for the simple tasks they ask you to complete, it’s pretty decent rate to start off with. The management staff are always willing to help you learn and never give up on you even if you, yourself, do. If you love to work outside and don’t mind the heat or cold then this job’s right up your alley. I love working with Car Pool even though at some times it’s pretty stressful, especially when we’re busy. I love the job we do for our customers and even when they don’t physically say it, I know they appreciate the great job we do for them.

Working at Carpool is a fantastic opportunity. Here you can gain experience in cleaning/detailing as well as customer service and leadership. Working outdoors has its pros and cons, pros being fresh air and plenty of sunshine, cons being excessive heat or cold. The work itself is is not difficult, but you must work quickly. Having evenings off is great, and daily cash tips is great too. If you are looking for a fast, flexible, fun place to gain some work experience, consider Carpool!

I don't recommend working here, the hours suck they give you a bunch of breaks cut your hours. The management doesn't work, it all depends on the team which is all basically teenagers which do not do their job properly and if you have the role of inspector you have to fix all their mistakes and clean the front of the grill and all that. They expect you to do all this for 11$ an hour, with tips its like 14$ but tips are also counted into payroll which gets taxed so there's that gone. Its just an overall bad place to work. Expect to get sun tans.

The willow lawn location is a good place to work for teens (that want to work) in high school, schedule is really flexible and pay is ok but if your an adult with a family then find a better job because the pay is simply just not enough and if you don’t have a license then just forget it, management is cool and honestly pretty fun they’re easy to get along with as well

Carpool provides an excellent work environment for those who strive to deliver their best work everyday. some days can be stressful, but its good to know that your manager has your back when things get uncomfortable (I.E. when customers get irate) 

 the monthly staff meetings aren't always fun, but donuts are provided 90% of the time which is nice.
