Get Spiffy Inc.

The pay and initial excitement was great when starting out as a trainer. After a while the tables turned completely and I was forced to take on a role running a location as a manger. I set up a shop mostly by myself without a lot of help and could not rely on anyone in the company to provide me with direction or encouragement. It soon became clear that management had absolutely no interest in creating value or keeping employees. We went through countless techs that somehow made it through the initial screening only to discover they had absolutely no idea what they were doing. I was forced to figure it out on my own and get my guys trained while we were trying to make money for the company. It was completely untenable, each day was a complete exhaustive effort just to make it through the day. Management was zero help during any of it. You continually will hear the phrase " Businesses don't fail because they make dirty money... we would rather have lots of dirty money than a small amount of clean money". Their priorities are strictly on making money with no regard for establishing any kind of positive culture or maintaining client relationships. This business should stick strictly to carwashes.  

Work starts at 10 pm. Transport Amazon vans to work location. Inspect vans and perform requested repairs. Laying in puddles of water from the rain while working on the ground.  Your personal tools get soaked in the rain. Management was not consistent with meetings, pre-shift huddles, oreding the correct parts. Workplace environment was toxic a lot of finger pointing and immature conflict. Working out doors in terrible weather conditions. I can't say I enjoyed much it was terrible and unorganized work place from the beginning. 

Working outdoors and on the ground 100% of the time. Working during heavy rain,  lightning storms,  extreme winter weather, and not compensated if you don't work due to bad weather. NO SICK TIME. Working in sketchy areas at night, not safe. Hours are not guaranteed, if there is now work the send you home. NO PAID HOLIDAYS! Terrible management and poor communication. Poor work environment job doesn't not provide the proper tools and equipment to get the jobs done properly.

In my experience, I have enjoyed my time with spiffy...i was open to whatever they through at me. if they wanted me to do oil changes, i would do it. If they wanted detailing, i would do it. if they needed me to clean up spills or other things...I would do it...

 i would keep my mind open bc i know that if i am able to transition/ build my skills into a different job that they wanted me to do... then i would be an asset. I mean, i am getting paid to do it, why not get the big wigs attention by doing it well...i got their attention and now i got opportunities...Keeping it a buck fity, the job is easy to me but it does get frustrating at time. in my mind, what job doesn't get frustrating sometimes?

All about perception in any situation. 

I got a promo, but i still get down with my guys. i don't have to but im still in field busting services while managing my other responsibilities. My guys understand what i got on my plate and they know that if they need help they can call me and i will do my best to help. 

All im saying, if you want to work and earn some $ then put in the work and opportunities will surface. if you just want a check, that is totally fine too. pay is good...

Would be better for you to watch YouTube videos than to watch time trying to learn anything from these guys. I spent more time sitting around doing nothing than actually working. Who’s to blame ? Not myself but management; HUGE lack of experience in management not to mention they’ll basically hire anyone who can hold a wrench. I went from changing engines at previous job  to changing light bulbs here….. if your looking for an easy ride with a paycheck to match this is for you. If you’re looking to build your skills or spend anytime at home with the family stay away! The attitudes on some of the guys there blows my mind, someone who hardly fits under a car telling you they know everything about everything….. didn’t last long. You can’t build as a team if you don’t work as a team. Especially if the team lead is clueless. Pay was good but they’ll bait and switch on you before signing up. Be careful with Spiffy, as far as their Amazon contract goes…. One mistake from the whole show blowing up in everyone face! Take note Spiffy, lots of areas for improvement. 

As a customer care representative at Spiffy, there is always something that needs to be done. You definitely need to have awesome communication skills, as there is constant communication between customers, technicians, and others throughout the day. My ability to effectively communicate quickly started improving once I started my job here, as well as multi-tasking under pressure, which is probably the most difficult aspect of the job. It does not get boring; something new that happens every day. Management expect you to do your job well but give you autonomy over decisions within reason, which is a refreshing style for someone who is used to being micromanaged. They also show appreciation for reaching goals and just doing a good job. All of the employees at the office are friendly and talented people, and it sort of feels like a large family all in one big space. For me personally, the best part of the job is that you genuinely feel like an important member that is contributing to the growth of the company, even at an entry level position.

I understood what was required from me when launching a new city before I accepted my role. Never once complained about the many issues I had to overcome. There was so much miscommunication from all levels of the company (Upper management, HR, etc). The support from GM’s was pretty close to non-existent, but that did not stop me from doing my job to the best of my ability. Changes occured pretty frequently, so I would say make sure you get it in writing if you’re “grandfathered in” before these changes happen. Understand that you will be on-demand (7 days a week), so you will not have a work-life balance. I had high hopes that this company’s culture was going to be different as they say from the hiring process through the on boarding process. I was loyal, and always available before deciding to leave for new opportunities. So much was promised in regards to compensation, but was very under delivered (part of the miscommunication mentioned above). I wouldn’t change any of it as I learned so much from this company, but I strongly suggest to look elsewhere, or wait out the “start-up” ride.

Working at Spiffy is rewarding in so many ways. Even tougher days are eased with the office culture, including an open office with easy access to other departments and Spiffy leadership. No individual is off limits for questions, and everyone is willing to help. It's definitely a treat to have dogs in the office as well. 

Our management team pushes you to perform your best, but also ensures you have the tools to do so. They encourage independence and minimize micromanagement so long as you're performing well. They work hard to provide a work-life balance, but because of the start-up nature of the business, it can require moving some commitments around every now and then. 

One of my favorite feats of the job is our frequent celebrations when Spiffy achieves a new milestone, though on of the hardest parts of the job is the work it takes to get there. That being said, it's incredibly satisfying when you do achieve those goals, and you are always rewarded for it.

I have had jobs where you are in a sterile room making catheters for 8 hours, no music allowed or anything, and I would sooner return to doing that than work for this "company" for the rest of my life. 

Right out of the gate they said "we have low retention" big red flag. Training was okay, but after that it went down the drain. Waited the entire time I was working there for tools. They had a qouta of 20 cars per person at the time and yet cant provide me with proper tools? Not happening. In addition they have no respect for their employees time or their own it seems. Whatever shift you signed up with will not be the one you get so don't even bother picking. Not only that but they say there's a shift differential yet when i was switched to that shift with the differential I didnt recieve it at all. Go to amazon or anywhere else that can at least provide proper equipment. 

The management their had zero clue about cars or truck at all. They will take advantage of anyone they can and they will throw people under the bus if it’ll save them. I would say when I was hired everything was good then spiffy bought the company I was working for and that’s when the management got flipped upside down. They all treated you like you was worthless and that you had zero clue about your job. If you know what your doing when it comes to cars find a new job to work for they what people who know zero about cars so that they can try n teach them what to do when even the “trainers” they have for the car side don’t know anything about a car and how to fix it. 

Horrible work ethics in management they all come to work high and refuse to do services and when they do they won't do correctly. If you want to be out by yourself and over worked job is great. If you smoke weed job is great. If you have respect for yourself and like to do a good job this is not the company for you. You will be expected to picking up the slack of others.Great place to work if you want to smoke weed all day. And be expected to do 20 plus oil changes in 8 to 10 hour shifts.  Also you will be working out doors in sun, rain and dirty ground. Also mechanics beware you will be cleaning uhauls and other trucks not just channing oil all without shade.
