She was extremely impatient, dismissive, and rude during the interaction. As taxpayers, we expect public service staff to treat people with basic respect and professionalism. I was honestly shocked by how poor the service attitude was. I hope management can seriously review this issue and improve staff training and supervision

When leaving King's Fitness this morning I was blocked by a El Monte police truck pulling a horse…read moretrailer. The cops parked their rig on the street in front of the Donut Man but its length blocked King's drive. When I hit the horn to alert them that I was attempting to leave a guy (cop ?) approached me arguing they have horses in the trailer and that fact gives them the right to stop there or something just as incomprehensible. I quickly explained they were blocking the entrance to a commercial business and no amount of horses will excuse suck conduct. When the guy continued to argue with me I finally ask did you guys become entitled pricks after becoming cops or did you bring that offensive personality to the job. Finally a lesser prick moved the rig so I could leave.

It's like they didn't have MULTIPLE forms of identification showing his accurate spelling and birthday. we all mess up, but mistakes to this degree this is just NOT the job for you. they should consider doing some serious rehiring at this place... and evaluate their literacy.

Beautiful event center with friendly staff!…read more My company recently held the El Monte job fair at the Grace T. Black Auditorium and it was a great turnout with over 2,000 people who arrived. The auditorium accompanied all our job seekers and employers. We had a lot of indoor space although it reached max capacity pretty quickly. There was a very nice outdoor patio with clean restrooms nearby, a cafeteria room where we set up our food and refreshments, and another two rooms we used for computer access and resume critique. There was plenty of parking behind the auditorium but access to that parking area seemed a bit tricky. I would highly recommend this auditorium for weddings, and special events with a max of 500 people. Anything over that number and there might be some problems fitting everyone inside. The courtyard and outdoor patio area was a nice addition which provided ample shade and covering.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking I'm in line. I had to find out from someone who came up after me that I had to around these people and push a button at the window for help! Security guards are still there cracking jokes. So what do you do? You obviously get paid to do nothing! No posts at window to push button for help. No one stands aside or tells you. I wasted half an hour in an imaginary line. Another 90 minutes after I got to the window. I'm still waiting. It's going to be 2 hour wait in a few minutes. Security guards still cracking jokes.
