Big flight schools are not a guarantee for good instructors.

It goes both ways. My old flight school back in the day had excellent career instructors but that was not of much help when my training was significantly delayed due to aging fleet problems and an overly aggressive airworthiness approach from the local FSDO. The owner of the only available complex trainer ended up pulling it from the program right as I started commercial training. A good instructor can't do much to help that.
My point is that it's a valid concern for the career minded student.
