Pros

You get a lot of time to learn the systems on the airplanes you teach. You occasionally get to fly the full motion simulators for hours on end. You are perceived as an expert and if you are a good instructor, you will get many job offers. Free donuts. Free candy.

Cons

The place is run by military retirees who like to lord over their employees with ambiguous, non-existent rules. Don't expect support from any of the managers if you are having problems with the material, just expect deadlines and threats of being reprimanded when you ask for help. Since you get paid salary expect to work a lot of overtime on the weekends without any compensation. You'll spend most of your time doing busy work such as internal audits, editing power point shows, editing training manuals, or sorting and resorting bins of junk in the back room. If you start doing well and start teaching a lot of hours, be ready for someone to anonymously report you for doing something "unethical" such as leaving work 5 minutes early on Friday our using a bad word while chumming it up during a break. Jealousy is everywhere. You can get 1000 positive client reviews and then 1 bad one and you get put on probation. They have mandatory work furloughs that they use to get you to use up your vacation time. No bailout for this Warren Buffet owned company! Pay: What you start with is pretty much what you stay with + 3% increase annually. Advancement: Not unless someone quits or dies or if you can make up a new position and sell it to management.
