Agree with JB. There are some great people and schools in aviation, and there are some shady characters and money-sinks. Find a place where they treat you like a valued customer. Your CFI is your biggest partner in your training. Many of them - not most, luckily - just want the hours and don't care about whether you learn anything. Try out different instructors until you find someone you click with, and who makes you a priority. If that means a different school, so be it.

If they're playing this game now, don't expect it to get better. Don't expect great maintenance or instruction, too. A lax attitude carries over in all directions; if they can't manage their business professionally, consider it to be indicative of what's under the hood, too.
