It sounds like FLYRJSH has great advice. Here's my advice! Great Lakes sucks at best. I was there during some of the best hiring of the decade so I was lucky and got out in 4 years. I took advantage of them as much as they did me. I took two type ratings and a checkairmen letter away from the deal and made the best of my time there by meeting new friends and learning how to be a pilot.
These days, I wouldnt tell my worst enemy to go to GLA because there is no near future hope of escaping.

The airplanes are old and falling apart. (terrible maintenance and lack of resources doesnt help) The entire management puts safety on the back burner and treats long time loyal employees like garbage, especially gate agents and the like.

I will try to find a letter I wrote to the director of operations after multiple maintenance and safety issues I encountered over a period of time and post it for you on here. It fell on deaf ears, obviously. If you decide to go to GLA, dont say we didnt warn you and dont get on here and cry because you hate your life and are stuck in a training contract. Just learn how to bend over and take it, because that is what working for lakes is all about. Enjoy!
