Pros
Working with the professionals whoes PERSONAL experience, knowledge, and care are the product this company lives off of. If you ever hear of someone learning something, or having a great experience at FSI. It was due to the INDIVIDUAL that they got as an instructor. Facilities are clean, equipment well maintained.
Cons
No work rules. No amount of extra work will earn you a dime more than your fellow instructor is qualified to do nothing. 2% annual pay raises are the most that you can expect. Just knowing that there is a 2% spread between the "best of the best" and a turd that can't even pass a 135 checkride in his own airplane does wonders to kill your spirit and desire to give 150% each month. By the way, 150% pays the same an 60% and there are no rules, so no way to draw a line, or say no to any demand, no matter how insane. Schedule?? 5 swing shifts from 0300 start to 0300 end. No limit on weekends, no maximum days in a row. You know, anything goes when there are NO RULES!!
