El Car Wash

I worked as a part time lot attendant and while it wasn't a bad gig it needs to be understood that this is a weather dependent company. They don't really tell you this when you start there. If you're a part timer and it rains you're going to be sent home or told not to come in. If sales are slow you're going to get sent home. You can't really make this your primary source of income. It rains a lot in Florida. Also, it's very hot, muggy, sticky and you're surrounded by reflective cars that triple the heat. You're going to sweat a lot. I was in a few different locations and management is always different. I met three good managers and one super nasty one. Overall I didn't mind the work but not getting hours was the reason I left. 

Company started off great, but with their rapid growth they do not prioritize expansion of departments only of actual store locations. Company culture seems fun and inviting at first glance and as long as you keep your head down and allow yourself to be overworked. There is no work-life balance. They do make retaliatory decisions if you critique any of the things going on. HR does not care about their people, it’s very one sided and lines are clearly drawn no matter the situation. There is a lot of favoritism within the company. Company cares more about what they appear to be to the public than what they actually are as employers. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great company to work for. They really want to see you succeed and give you all the tools to do so. Hard work pays off!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very fast growing company so we are spread thin sometimes.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The best job I have had great environment and culture, very exciting.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
.Reports, maintenance, training, hiring driving sales, customer service and learning new skills 1% better everyday.

I have worked for El Car Wash over a year now and we have new owners and management.  They are investing in training and development of the team, which is unheard of in the industry.  We get bonuses and commissions based on performance and now, with all the remodeling happening it is just a great, fun place to work.  The owners are nice and the General Manager and Sales Director are really motivating and teach you hands on.  I love it and happy to be on this team!

I worked there for about a year and a half and absolutely the worst management I’ve ever experienced. They don’t care about their workers at all. They’ll change your hours just so you don’t hit overtime and then expect you to stay extra time to get things done around the store. Managers love to temper with your hours and pay, then fail to give information as to why. They say HR cares about the workers but they actually don’t do anything to help you resolve anything. Don’t recommend anyone to work here. 

This is my favorite job by far. I didn’t expect much when I first applied but within the first week I felt secure and comfortable with everyone. This job is dedicated to its goals and it’s a growing company in Michigan. I have a lot of faith in this company and those who are higher up than me are great to work with and very encouraging. There’s always something to do and there’s a good work life balance here which I appreciate. I definitely recommend working here!

I was the key hold over there for three months. They wouldn’t tell you things that are important. We’re talking about the customer found out that the buffer is not working on it. They will start having a fit and then you would have no choice, but to try to the deEscalade, the situation, and then later here that they forgot to tell you that it’s broken. If you do good, they will leave you alone to work by yourself. Many people keep coming late. They don’t show up so they make you do all the extra work for no extra money.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Awesome culture. Pay is above standard

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Short hours for staff so scheduling is an issue with no proper coverage

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good. upper management can sometimes be a bit overwhelming

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work outside all day. Limited breaks. Extremely hot and sometimes rude customers

I have worked in this company for almost two years and I love it, it's fun, it works as a team,
  With the change of owners they gave a new approach to the company taking it to a very competitive level and always thinking about the quality of service, and always thinking about the personal and operational development of its employees.
The company offers long-term stability and projection to its employees and they have the possibility to grow in this company.
I recommend it 100%.

They will push you to sell memberships and reach store goals but they will not give you a raise and any thing for your hard work. If a customer gives you a bad review no investigation you will be hr will reach out to your manager about how they will punish you for the bad review. They will use you when they are short staff but makes sure that they send you home before you get 40 or plus hours
