Northern LA is GP 51. Region CC ( I think ). They suck. Every office is very shortstaffed, so the hours 7:30-6pm and 9-12 or 8:30-12:30 on saturdays are bogus. You will be there from 7:15am till at least 7pm if not longer EVERY day. Count on working on thanksgiving and day after thanksgiving, christmas and day before and after christmas, new years and many other upcoming holidays. The recruiter or HR person ( I think Laura was her name ) has a tendency to tell you only the things that they want you to hear and know. Dan Adams is the RVP there ( I think he is still there ). Extremely fake guy who only cares about his pocket. He will smile in your face and promise the world and every promotion there is, yet he could care less about any of his employees. You will be expected to wash cars on DAILY basis, to LIE to customer on DAILY basis. Most likely you will not have a lunch break every day, as a matter of fact, you will probably have a lunch break on average once every 1-2 weeks. You will be eating cold pizza, stuffing it in your mouth sooooo fast that you can almost choke yourself to death from it.
Do not buy the 6 figures in 6 years crap, nor should you buy any sales talks from them about growth and earnings potential. The job truly sucks. Take it from us that have been there. I was in GP 51 ( same area where you are interviewing.
If I was you, I wouldn't think another second. Just tell them that this website gave you enough info to make an educated decision. There are thousands of people here that will give you the same advice. However, there is only one recruiter, that unfortunately will tell you one and only lie trying to get you to work there ( by the way, for every hire, the recruiter gets a bonus, so yes they will tell you anything to get you to accept the job )
