Fast 5 Xpress

Working for Fast 5 as a weekend part time job was busy as weekends tend to be. Any downtime was spent either cleaning the tunnel of debris or chatting a bit with co-workers. Difficulties with the job at most were dealing with the rare irate customer or occasional equipment malfunction. As for the management, the Assistant Managers were very nice very personable, as for the Store Manager that was the impression I was given, until my other coworkers, assistant mangers included, were telling me that the Store Manager had made negative remarks about almost everyone working at the location myself included. Despite that, working with the coworkers that I had during my time there was very fun and enjoyable.

I worked as an Assistant Manager at a location in Costa Mesa for over a year.  Its non stop insanity from opening till close; the wash would break down periodically, creating a stressful environment for both customers and employees alike.  Breaking your back literally and risking getting permanently injured by moving equipment, or just rogue cars not paying attention to the employees and smacking into them.  Dangerous and hazardous work environments with little to no manager oversight or help.

If you’re good with customers, this is the position for you. Working during the winter isn’t bad, as not many customers tend to come, but the summers are very rough and incredibly draining. Customers are unbelievably rude and entitled, and you will get yelled at and degraded for things mostly out of your control. Management is very kind and understanding, and will be flexible with your schedule. Machinery constantly breaks and is incredibly frustrating to work with, especially on busy days with impatient customers. Fun and kind coworkers and management are what keeps this job bearable. 

A typical day as manager was mostly to just make sure that nothing was broken and to either open the register or close it. I really enjoyed learning about the wash and how everything worked but after I learned everything it became quite boring to just walk around and make sure everyone was working. Promotions up to manager can happen really fast if your a hard worker and a spot opens or if no one quits/ moves up, they can take years if you're not willing to switch locations.

I loved my time at Fast5, management was always understanding of any emergencies I had. My favorite thing was how management ALWAYS had our backs against rude and upset customers. I even had an incident with a customer touching me inappropriately and management took swift action to help me by allowing me to take time off of work and making accommodations to help me feel comfortable coming back to work. The job itself is easy once you’re trained and all the work is divided for everyone to do. You’ll never be stuck outside in lot or tunnel all day because there is a rotating schedule. 

You mean to tell me that tunnel guides gotta work 3x as harder as greeters, work in hot, humid conditions with nasty sewer water spraying all over you daily, and deal with customers with single digit IQ who can't operate their vehicles for the same pay as them? Greeters chill in a nice lil booth with their own ac. Same pay. Makes no sense. I always worked hard and never complained, took up shifts too, but I always thought about that. My mangers were pretty cool, nothing wrong with the store, it's the pay structure itself. No wonder no one cared about their job when I worked there

As my fist job ever I learned a lot and met awesome people here. I am very grateful that fast 5 Xpress carwash gave me the opportunity to work and be a part of their fast5 family. Yes the heat is a minus but that's why they always have the AC running and manager Summer Soria always bring bottled waters for us all. When there are slow days us crew members keep busy cleaning to make it look nice and clean for our customers.

Its an okay place to work. Definitely wouldn't expect it as a career. Hours are part time. Management is full time. Its an easy job just extremely boring after a while. Especially mornings. The customer are sometimes difficult and try to get free washes from you. Or people make up lame excuses to try and sue the company. Alot of standing outside and there is a dress code.

The people you work with at the wash are alright. But company as a whole is very toxic. Facilities workers think they're better than you. Lots of gossip of company wide gossip. Who knows what else is wrong there. 

Working at fast five was something different from my another jobs, it was changing at first but got the hang of it later on, Some the customers were so rude it will get to crazy sometimes I feel like I was in a show lol. And the people working were terrible very low class people and the mangers acted unprofessional, It was to much to handle
