Pros

-get through the program fast

Cons

-Get through the program fast. -Poor instruction from people that just went through the same type of instruction. -If you get linked up with a poor instructor, you are going to have a bad time. -ATP sent me across the country for all of my check rides. No DPE availability in the training center that you trained in? We will send you to an area you have never been, and link you up with an unreasonable and crazy DPE. -Pay is all up front -Unreasonable hourly rates -If you are not prepared/feel ready for a check ride, ATP will boot you. -Getting extra flight time is next to impossible. -Management does not care about their instructors or students. Only the 'image' and marketing scheme of the company. -I'm so upset I came here. Should have stuck with a Mom & Pop shop, or a flying club instead.

Pros

Hours you fly are good and you not have to network to get students

Cons

You have to go through atp flight school as a student which has a 75% chance of passing the whole program. And after you get hired they are always looking for reasons to fire you.
