Regional Manager (Former Employee), Tacoma, WA – February 27, 2013
Pros: delivering and exceeding client/employee expectations
Cons: consistently long work hours
A typical day is spent with meeting clients and assessing quality assurance - as necessary, implementation of corrective action plans and addressing complaints is priority as well as ensuring that production staff have what they need to carry out daily/nightly functions. The scheduling and covering of staff absentee is daily so business hours are extended. – more... All management staff, regardless of position, is on call and available to respond to questions, providing direction, employee/account services support, or emergencies. Worked closely with clients, management peers and employees that showed great work ethics and concern for services provided. Hardest part of job was maintaining consistency with replacement staff for filling positions, and that employees were provided enough personnel and/or technical support. Enjoyed being out in accounts with clients and employees, nothing better than a happy client and happy staff. – less

Janitor (Former Employee), Panama City, FL – December 13, 2012
A typical day at GCA would include mopping, sweeping, dusting, and general office cleaning. I learned how to strip and wax floors. I also learned how to run a crew when I was promoted to lead floor tech. Management was superb and easy to work with. My co-workers were excellent and hard working. I can't say that I found any part of this job hard. It – more... was very enjoyable cleaning out schools over the summer, knowing that the children had a healthy environment to return to. – less
Floor Maintenance Technician (Current Employee), Hernando, MS – November 30, 2012
You have to be able to tolerate kids, and their messes. It's hard to accept the minimum wage with the kind of work it is. I have come to believe that if there was no minimum wage, you would certainly not get paid 7.25.
Strip Buff Employee (Former Employee), PPG Industry – November 9, 2012
You go in do your job and come home, the turnover rate is over 20% for the subcontractor and management is not very good at all, unfair to the employees and not understanding.

Mailroom Clerk (Former Employee), Central Illinois – October 6, 2012
Pros: my co-workers
Cons: my manager, pay, favortism, unnecessary catiness
The manager for this position sits on a high horse and she will fire you if you do not comply with what she wants which is to be her suck up. she had her favorites and if were not in her circle then you are doomed from day one. She always had "meetings" but came back with a new pedicure and manicures and hair extensions once. She took personal time – more... but called it a meeting and went to get a tattoo. I would not work for this company they pay next to nothing an d they do not investigate their supervisors but constantly have a high turn over rate. Ypu have been warned!!! – less
Sales Director, Midwest Commercial Division (Current Employee), St. Louis, MO – September 13, 2012
Pros: flexible schedule
Cons: very competitive industry
The company is very large and continues to expand. A typically day for me is reaching out to and engaging prospective clients to educate them on the benefits of using the services that GCA can provide. I have a great relationship with my manager. My co-workers are seasoned sales professionals. The most challenging part of my job is working in a new – more... and undeveloped territory. The most enjoyable part of my job is working with different people every day. – less
