Five-Star-Fabricating

Niche Expertise: Being part of a company that focuses specifically on race car bodies allowed me to develop specialized skills and gain hands-on experience with materials like renshape, polycarbonate, and advanced composites.

Fast-Paced Environment: The work is fast-moving, which keeps things interesting and provides a strong sense of accomplishment when deadlines are met—especially during race season.

Tight-Knit Team: Working in a smaller, specialized manufacturing environment fostered strong teamwork and camaraderie. Everyone plays a crucial role, and there's a shared pride in the final product.

Visible Impact: It was rewarding to see the physical results of our labor on professional tracks and in the performance of vehicles we helped build.

I feel like every day that I come into work that theirs always something to do, everybody is always working on there own thing and not just standing around doing nothing, and its always something different everyday either problem wise or production wise. The management goes above and beyond for their employees, are always trying to find ways to make the work day less stressful, and always making sure everything is clean and everybody has what they need to get through their day. Honestly I have never worked for a company with a nicer management team. The hardest part of the job is your constantly on your feet, but thats it jobs at Five Star are pretty straight forward. I enjoy every bit of my job because who else can say I make race car parts or even I make Nascar race car bodies, and I think thats something special to be a part of.

The pay is decent and there is overtime. You work 4 10 hour days and are supposed to get 3 days off, but really it's more like 4 ten hour days and work overtime. The supervisor comes around and asks you how many hours you can put in on your day off(don't say less than 5). If you try to say you can't work overtime you get dirty looks like you are trying to play hooky, when it's supposed to be your day off. So if you love working overtime then give them a try. Lots of nepotism and favorites, but if you do as your told there won't be any problems. There are no sick days either, so if you get sick plan on using your vacation days or don't get paid the days you are sick. Also if you get sick when it's busy and you dont have any vacation days, plan on making the time up when you come back to work. They do have decent benefits though.




A typical day at work consists of answering phones, greeting customers, and working on multiple projects. So far I have learned how to use the phone correctly, how to put together documents for new hires and for term employees. I have learned more about ordering supplies and how to reach out to our employees via a text service. Management has been great and very helpful! The culture at Five Star is awesome. The hardest part of the job is sitting for long periods of time. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to get to know everyone and greet them throughout the day. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working with 5 Star Fab was the travel and hotel stays… of course the freedom to work at tall heights, lots of welding and fitting growth. All around the best experience I’ve had as an Ironworker.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part was getting rained out and the fact that there was very little overtime.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment was like a typical work/construction site. Se Hal a espanol!!! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday is like a new one. Never the same task.

Really good benefits with NO payroll deduction for health insurance.  Dental and vision also free.  We work four 10 hour days so that makes for a nice weekend.  Lots of OT in Winter which is good too.  No layoffs here.  President says Hi to everyone and knows everyone's name.  We get 3 weeks PTO after 3 years.  401k match is dollar for dollar.  People are friendly and nice.  Plus we make cool race car parts.  Nice Xmas bonus too. Also the place is very clean which is nice to work in. New building is beautiful.  

I have changed a handful of companies in three years and they have all been completely bad to mediocre.   Five Star took the time to plan out my job title and worked with me on the path that I wanted to create for myself.  The work is very hands on and there is alot of pride in the composites that we make! People are there to do work and not pretend to cause drama like other places. If anyone is looking for a great job,  with good people,  and a terrific owner/CEO, look no further,  this is your company!

Typical day at work is a usually a good day without too many unexpected situations. Can pretty expect expect the same thing everyday with some differentiation. Management is good people from who I've met. Workplace culture is friendly. Not many hard parts of the job. I'd say the most enjoyable part is cleaning up the machines when done with the main work of the day.

Working at Fivestar has been a great experience. Everyone seems to be very helpful, kind, and encouraging from the first day you walk in. Hiring process is very easy and informational. The work is challenging but not overly so which makes it very rewarding.

Good place to work. Management was good and people were great. My time was short there for family matters but I was trained on anything I had a question about. And had a great understanding any responsibility that was to come my way. A lot of places try to keep you in one spot and to me that gets boring. Here I had multiple options every night.
