I used to work at the SMO location. I hated it. The people I worled with were nice enough though. You never know your schedule untill the night before, so you can never plan anything in advance. The pay leaves a lot to be desired, and you almost never fly with the same student more than three times. I personally thought that if they were charging as much as they were for an hour of fllight, selling gas and running an FBO they could afford to pay their staff much much more. The people I worled with were nice though.
I wouldn't do it personally.
