Just like at any other school, there are always going to be bad apples. I was lucky enough to have none. It's the perfect program for someone who doesn't need or want the information spoon fed.
I did go to ATP. I did my CFI/CFII/MEI there. I also was an instructor at ATP. As I said before, if you want to be an RJ FO it is a perfect program. If you want to do anything else outside of that in aviation then you need to be careful. Yes I believe you passed all your checkrides without failure, and I also believe you are a competent pilot today, but those who went Zero to Hero in 150 days finish with the bare minimum to get by on a clear sunny day as an RJ FO. And if that is your goal, then ATP will get you there the fastest.
As others have said, having the ATP zero to hero program on your resume doesn't mean much when looking for other jobs in aviation.
Some of their other programs, such as the ATP certificate course, are fine and get the job done.
