The training department is a bit messed up in terms of trying to come to grips with the number of people they are trying to train...completely not ready for such an influx. If you are hired into the training department, expect to work as much as they can find time for you to do so.

Standard for Allegiant, since the training costs have risen and the sim instructors are making serious bank, they allegedly were looking at making them work on salary as opposed to hourly. I haven't heard that this had any traction, but the training department would have imploded at this point. Currently, the sim guys seem to be the highest paid people on hourly rate, blocking well north of 100 (one guy had 225) hours in a month and most are paid at the CA rate. Being a sim instructor will also make you available for some of the ground training that goes on (emergencies, walk-around, etc).

I just got picked up to work as a systems ground instructor in addition to my FO duties and I expect to be abused for the near future. From what I was told, each "event" blocks just shy of 5 hours and you get 20 dollars of override pay each actual hour you are working.
