Pros

Great fellow instructors. Clients are awesome.

Cons

No quality of life. They can work you 12 days in a row doing what they call doubles which puts you on the property over 10 hours or more. There are no guaranteed days off unless you are on vacation. Schedule changes all the time. Poor training. Basically you train yourself. Do not sign a training agreement unless there are prorations and relief for illness. As my attorney told me they got you! It's like a mortgage. If you get sick and can't work the mortgage still has to be paid. They are ruthless. They don't care about you or your family. At the PIC training one of the VP's tells you if let a client out one minute before the end of training you could be charged with defrauding the company. Can't find any instructor that likes this place. They are there for the benefits. They are always complaining. No sour grapes here. Had I known what I was getting into I would never have signed up. I am a veteran and ex airline. I worked 26 days a month for years raising family while working in the reserves and flying overtime at the airlines. I know what hard work is. But this company will grind you down. There is no quality of life. They are understaffed and there are more leaving ( or dying )than being hired.

Pros

PTO, somewhat of a 'decent' salary

Cons

Management, both in the center & corporate. The work tasks are too demanding for the BS pay we get. The verbal abuse we get from pilots. Management has zero issue letting you know when you've done something wrong but if they do something wrong.. nothing happens? Oh I'm away from my computer for more than 15 minutes and now I'm getting scolded by not being on the phone? We can't speak freely. We have to watch what we say on the phone cause everything is recorded. The St. Louis location is a joke, with their petty front desk staff & gaslighting managers. The only people who are cool in the St Louis location are their PM's. This whole company needs a redo. Oh & if you're a biological female.. you're not safe if a transgender woman wants to use your bathroom.
