It's definitely center dependent. The Gulfstream SAV and LGB have always been much higher. It wouldn't surprise me if NJA complains enough to keep CMH at least competitive.
FSI taught me to be an instructor and I appreciated the experience which helped me with other training department jobs. But it is absolutely a sweatshop and if you stay too long (get too many quals) they will work you 6 days per week and call you while you are on vacation to ask if you can come in.
If you have other choices I simply cannot recommend working there. As always if you need a job; you need a job.
