Quick Quack Car Wash

This job is an excellent choice for those still in High School or College. They are very flexible with your schedule and pay great compared to jobs in the area. I have absolutely loved all three of my managers that I've had and everyone else that has worked at my location.

However, this IS NOT a career job. There is no option to move up in this company even though they say they love promoting from within. 
There have been 2 people that I've known personally that have tried to move up into a management position after working there for over a year.  Both employees have perfect track records with the company and perform very well. Both times they were shot down by regional managers. Both times a new hire that had no Car Wash experience took the management job they were going for.

Another problem with this company is the complete lack of understanding from upper management on how to run their busier locations. Locations with several thousands of memberships get treated about the same as those with maybe a thousand. 

Here are a couple of examples:
- National Duck Day: Quick Quack tried to celebrate national duck day by giving rubber ducks to everyone for free if they asked for it. They advertised this day at our location to over 5,000 members but supplied under 100 ducks for the day. That day was one of the busiest days on record with over 1,200 customers in a 12 hour period in 1 location. Several customers were genuinely hurt by the fact that they couldn't get a free rubber duck, and they made sure to let those working that day know about it.
- Labor Hours Required: Upper management has been trying to lower our labor hours consistently for the past 6 months. We currently have barely enough hours for 2 people to work per shift. 2 positions always have to have someone ready to work them to make the car wash work without friction. Someone to be the cashier and someone to guide cars into the wash. However, there is always something that goes wrong that will require a third person to be there. Whether it's incident reports, the wash breaking, or a customer who has a problem that requires a lengthy solution. This means that the line gets held up by that little hitch, and you are going to get screamed at by the customers who had to wait 5 minutes longer for their unlimited car wash experience. This also means that breaks are basically non-existent. If you have 2 people working in a rush, there is no opportunity to sit down for even a second. If you sit down, you are basically screwing the other person as they have to pick up the slack for both positions. Literally sprinting back and forth and still getting screamed at by customers for being too slow.

TLDR; This is a great paying job, don't expect customers to have any kind of logic, and don't expect management to try to help alleviate the customer issues.




Before I say anything, I just wanna say that I had a great time starting off with the company. But overtime I started to realize that I was being taken advantage of. On the outside, this looks like a great company to work for, and the potential for bonuses is great, But on the inside, this company is very greedy and doesn’t care too much about the people that work for them. All they care about is sales and getting memberships, if you’re not selling, you were going to get written up for “performance” And they always bring up the excuse that it’s the team members fault for not selling well. If they care too much about sales, they should stop micromanaging the team members. For example,  Recording them in mystery shops, and penalizing them for not sounding like a robot, and saying ”The Approach” is very toxic. On the working part, They’re always expecting two people to do the job of five people every night with extensive cleaning lists and tasks. If someone leaves a small bit of trash after their shift they’re going to get written up for poor performance, if someone is not loading in cars faster, They are going to get rid of them for poor performance.

Also be prepared for you not to have a good work life balance, There’s always going to be a “Mandatory Meeting” When things don’t go well, or when the boss decides to have one. First of all, It’s not mandatory if you’re not getting paid for your time, even if you are part time and especially when you have other things to do and a life to live outside of work. Be prepared to be on a group chat where there is constant communication  that is not relevant to the person that is not working, It gets real annoying and frustrating when you’re trying to spend time with people you love outside of work, but can’t do so because you are getting notifications from WhatsApp.

On a sidenote, I really do not like the uniform standards, I get that the company wants to look professional, But in 90° weather when the sun is out, or when your cleaning the inside of a dirty trench, It’s not ideal to work with a Tie and a WHITE shirt that’s choking you around the neck, I would go far to say that wearing a dry fit polo shirt would be a better option and more professional. And the fact that the company wants every guy to be clean-shaven, and will write you up for having a spec of hair is not cool, That does not matter to people simply getting a car wash.

IN CLOSING: I’m gonna say it now for other people that are thinking about applying to this job, if you’re not selling memberships, You’re not gonna be here for long or you’re gonna get YELLED at for not doing a great job. 

If your not loading cars fast enough your getting written up.
The micromanagement in this job is super bad, even going far as to having team members sign against their will to be issued out of final warning for not saying the script when meeting customers. 

I would not recommend this job for anyone looking for a long-term growth in the company as a team member.

Review of Quick Quack Car Wash

I recently had an unfortunate experience working at Quick Quack Car Wash for 2 years and I feel compelled to share my thoughts. The primary issue with this establishment is its poor management. The lack of effective leadership and decision-making has a significant negative impact on the work environment.

One of the most frustrating aspects of working at Quick Quack Car Wash is the inconsistency in scheduling. Store leaders seem to make impromptus changes to shifts without proper communication, leading to confusion and inconvenience for the employees. This lack of organization not only affects work-life balance but also reduces team morale.

Moreover, the management's failure to address employee concerns exacerbates the problem. There is a clear lack of open communication and a dismissive attitude towards feedback and suggestions. This contributes to an unsupportive and demotivating work environment, making it challenging for employees to thrive and grow professionally.

Another issue that arises due to poor management is the lack of proper training and supervision. New employees are often thrown into their roles without adequate guidance, leading to mistakes and inefficiencies. The absence of clear guidelines and protocols makes it difficult to meet customer expectations, leading to customer dissatisfaction and potential revenue loss for the business.

Additionally, the management's failure to recognize and appreciate the hard work of employees is disheartening. A lack of recognition or rewards for a job well done can diminish employees' motivation and dedication to their roles.

Overall, the poor management at Quick Quack Car Wash is a significant drawback. It not only affects the quality of service provided to customers but also negatively impacts the work-life balance and job satisfaction of the employees. For those seeking employment in a supportive and well-organized workplace, I would advise looking elsewhere.

I hope this review helps you understand the challenges faced by employees at Quick Quack Car Wash due to its poor management practices.

Quick Quack is a decent place to work, especially for someone looking for customer service experience or a first job. A typical day involves greeting customers, helping guide vehicles into the wash, selling memberships, and keeping the site clean. Depending on the day and location, the job can either be very busy with constant activity or extremely slow with long periods where there is not much to do.
I learned how to communicate with customers, work as part of a team, handle sales conversations, and operate in a fast-paced environment. The experience helped improve my confidence and customer service skills.
Management varies by location, but leadership can sometimes feel inconsistent or disconnected from employee concerns. The company places a heavy emphasis on membership sales, which can make employees feel like sales numbers are valued more than the people generating them.
The workplace culture depends heavily on the team. Some coworkers are hardworking and make shifts enjoyable, while others contribute very little, leaving more work for the employees who are motivated.
The hardest part of the job is dealing with inconsistent hours and the pressure to sell memberships. Hours can be reduced after the initial hiring period, and employees assigned to grand openings may spend long periods holding signs or performing repetitive promotional tasks.
The most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with customers, working outdoors, and being part of a team during busy periods when everyone is engaged and working together. The job can be enjoyable when the site is active and staffed by motivated employees.

First and foremost, the work environment at Quick Quack Car Wash is exceptional. The camaraderie and support from both the staff and management make it a pleasure to come to work each day. The team’s dedication to providing outstanding service and maintaining a positive atmosphere is truly inspiring. As an assistant manager, I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such an amazing culture.

Quick Quack Car Wash’s commitment to customer satisfaction is remarkable. Witnessing the smiles on our customers’ faces as they drive away in their freshly cleaned cars is incredibly rewarding. Our innovative and efficient car wash process ensures that every customer receives a high-quality experience. It’s a joy to be part of a company that prioritizes excellence and consistently delivers on its promises.

Moreover, the constant learning and growth opportunities at Quick Quack Car Wash have played a significant role in my love for this position. The company’s commitment to personal and professional development is unparalleled. From attending training sessions to improving leadership skills, I have been able to expand my knowledge and refine my abilities as an assistant manager. It’s refreshing to work for a company that invests in its employees’ growth and encourages them to reach their full potential.

Finally, I must mention the Quick Quack Car Wash customers themselves. Interacting with our loyal patrons, building relationships, and ensuring their satisfaction is truly fulfilling. Their trust in our services and appreciation for our hard work is the driving force behind my dedication to this role.

In conclusion, being an assistant manager at Quick Quack Car Wash has been an incredible journey. I love the company, the team, and the customers, and I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the success and growth of this amazing organization. I look forward to continuing to serve and make a positive impact in the lives of our customers.

They make you stand out in the heat all day, rarely getting a break. It’s common for people to feel sick and lightheaded because of the heat. They also make you clean and maintain the car wash tunnel while it’s on with cars in it which is very dangerous and loud. You have to make sure not to get close to the spinning brushes and just hope nothing falls off of the cars and hits you. It’s happened before. It’s very loud in there, I couldn’t hear for a few minutes after I got out of the tunnel while working on it while it was on with cars in it. Also, high PH soap and other chemicals are constantly being flung at you while cleaning in the tunnel and gets in your eyes and mouth. When you’re prepping cars with bug spray, the hose leaks chemicals all over your hands and the wind makes it go into your eyes and mouth. You also have to empty out two huge bins of vacuum dust every night which is nasty and gets everywhere, and they don’t give you a mask to protect you from inhaling the dust. When I got home my face and the inside of my nose and mouth would be coated in black dust and lint from the vacuums. When you’re cashiering, you have to stand out in the sun/cold for long periods of time. You get scolded if your membership conversion rates are too low which is super stressful considering a lot of conversions are luck based. You’re forced to cut off customers and annoy them with aggressive membership sales tactics and speeches. Management got angry if you did not follow their script word for word, or if you accidentally said um or stuttered. Overall highly unsafe place to work. Co workers were great though. Would have happily stayed if the conditions weren’t so dangerous. I didn’t make it two weeks at this company. They have no care for employees health or safety and won’t do anything to improve conditions, they only care about how many memberships you sell. 

My manager at the time specifically hired people so that the only full-time employees were him and the Assistant manager meaning you're only getting what the schedule provides you amongst the 8-10 other members of the team between 7am and 9pm and with covid only 2 people can be on site at a time unless a schedule overlaps for 30 mins max. There's no real benefit to becoming an assistant manager which is the only way to start moving up in the company besides more hours and a dollar or two increase in pay from min. wage. The job has a high turnover rate because you realize very quickly that theres nowhere to go with quick quack car wash and staying causes more of a burden than just leaving. I stayed for 2 years because for the first year you get a raise every 6 months baised on performance and covid caused me to not want to lose what form of job security I had however very quickly after the first couple months I grew to hate the place more with each passing day. I ended up leaving for a job that paid less simply cause I couldn't continue putting myself through the mental burden that is Quick Quack car wash. It got to a point me and my coworkers who were once very energetic and happy to be there were just angry and upset even having to show up for a shift. Don't get me wrong the job is good parttime work and a great job for someone coming out of high school or going to school and not wanting much besides a paycheck and a few hours a week but aside from that if you value your time, don't waste it here. Unless you can live, breath, and bleed quick quack car wash theres no way you can advance here. 

I was an assistant manager at two separate stores. I am not in school so I was able to be the most flexible with working. 

I was promised by many regionals that I would start training to become a LIT, I was doing good, I was happy until my manager had it out for me and got me fired. They knew who she was as a person vs me but still sided with her. It’s okay though I have no bad blood with quick quack, I would definitely work there again. 

It can be boring at times, you have slow down times where you can clean, chat and get to grow with your co workers, but nothing else really. It’s a simple job that can get you some money and even pay your bills. 

I went to work for another car wash, and I will just advise this to the ceo. If you want to keep employees long term along with see a higher production rate in workers wanting to get memberships, compensate them for it. The store games are decent and all, but it’s not fun and not that competitive because of one person messing it all up for everyone else. 

I used to sell averagely 50-75 memberships at quick quack, didn’t get too much from it and my pay for being assistant for many months didn’t really cover my bills or make me too happy. At my new car wash, it’s 15= top membership, 10 for medium, and 5 for lowest, plus anyone who sold the most memberships at the store got a $100 gift card. It would most definitely keep employees there and make them want to sell you memberships, I also don’t agree with the recordings. It scares your employees along with watching them 25/8 like a hawk. 



They are always hiring and when this happens it’s usually not good and must be avoided at all costs. Their turnover rates are high, why is that? Here are the few lists I’ve learned from this company: 

1. Store Leader will push you for memberships, if you’re unable to meet you goal there will be a problem.

2.) “Assistant Store Leader” (ASL) is basically a Glorified Team Member/Cashier only difference is that you’re eligible for computer access.

3.) Micromanaging, you will be working with a lot of millennials and they will watch you like a hawk and will nit pick you even with the little things, that is because you’re new thinking they’re the “big shots” when they aren’t.

4.) No Facial Hair allowed, if you do. Don’t even bother working here. This is one of the most ridiculous and absurd I have ever encountered in history.

5.) Gossip, employees including Store Leader often talk bad about customers when a customer did something wrong, did not sign up for membership, etc. This is horribly sad. Without these customers, company is nothing without them.

6.) Regional Manager is a joke to the Company will severely push your store for memberships and no help or support when needed.

7.) Okay Pay, you will bring decent paychecks. However, you will not be happy, especially with the lists I have revealed.

*No longer an employee for them and so happy I left and will no longer be a customer with them because of it. I’d rather pay more to the mobile detailers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You sometimes keyword sometimes get snacks. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Literally everything. For everyone who was a  past employee and saying it’s a great place to work clearly didn’t work there for more than a year. You’re overworked, under paid for the revenue you bring in, and they make it nearly impossible to get bonuses for selling memberships. Some store leaders have favoritism towards certain employees and can’t even remember how much the price of a medium tier wash is even tho they are over paid 100k+ a year. Might as well work at Wendy’s 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unfair, weird “ bullies who peaked in high school “ type of energy from management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and you’re ignored by your store leader most of the time regarding concerns. Don’t even dare ask a simple question about anything having to do with your job your store leader will disregard it and ignore your text messages when things break and you have no training to resolve it even though they fully expect you to basically be a mechanic. Also surrounded by cancerous chemicals all day. Every week there’s something called trench night where you get in a 5 foot hole that runs the length of the wash tunnel and scoop out chemical hazards and everything and anything you can think of that would wash off of a car. No hazard pay or hardly any proper PPE protocols either.
