Best tip I ever received (as a new hire) is: "Allegiant trains you to 50% but tests you to 110%".
That said, it's been nearly two years for me, and it's consistently getting better.

It's really not bad as long as you study like you would for any airline job, don't expect to be spoon fed. They want you to put in the work and they pay you like a 'real airline pilot' with that expectation. Study hard in initial and for PC's and you'll do fine. The only guys that struggle are those who don't put the effort.
We have 4 APD's for the bus and 2 for the -80, they're all VERY fair (maybe too fair) and they all want you to succeed. However, they know when you haven't put forth the effort and most failures are due to lack of this.
