Stay away from ATP. I worked there for less than a year as a way to build some time. They are a horrible flight school for a lot of reasons, but specifically as an employee you can expect:

- You will be paid with a 1099, you are a contract employee.

- They might fire you at the drop of a hat. They need instructors to leave ATP so the next group of brand new instructors who are sitting in the call center can start instructing. They have a whole flow program going from students to instructors and it's crucial for them to keep that flow going.

- I flew my butt off and struggled to consistently gross more than $2000/a month. In one month I literally did not take a single day off.

- Since you're being paid with a 1099, you'll be forking over more in taxes at the end of the year.

- You will be working with instructors who have no idea what they are doing. I've seen student pilots solo without endorsements.

- Don't offer your opinion, they don't value it. If you disagree with something, you'll probably be shown the door. No I'm not kidding.
