Great people, absolutely terrible work-life balance. - Flight Instructor FlightSafety International Employee Review

Pros

For instructors this is the opportunity for a pilot to be home every night if they have the need/desire, also the opportunity to continue working in aviation if nearing retirement or having medical issues. Networking is great also if you are looking to tap into the corporate side of aviation.

Cons

The amount you work will vary depending on the program hired into, but be prepared to work 6+ days a week. I have contacts still working in the facility, they have been working 26 days straight in recent months (8 hour days, or more). If you are transitioning to be home with your family, do not expect weekends, 9-5 hours, or a 5 day workweek. Also, some facilities are putting work contracts in place to place a barrier to those looking to network into a job, be prepared to sign a 2-year contract and pay full price if you leave early.

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.
