I work at the IASCO facility in Napa. I can tell you this:
The chief up in Redding came from Napa. He is a conscientious, fun, fair guy (used to be my boss). Redding has been open for about a year and seems to be ramping up pretty nicely. Started with 20 students and now they are to 70 from a couple different airlines. Mx is good. IASCO is a good company to work for in general. They have been around for a long time and there are a lot of quality people here. I don't know much about the pay or benefits (think it's around $17-$20 per hour). But the work is there if you want it. Overall, it'd be a good place to hang for a year or so to build experience and break even financially until something better comes along... Good luck!

ALRIGHT I DO HAVE INFO...the company is VERY hard on the Chinese students...my guess is IASCO policy. I worked there as a Dispatcher and also worked at Ground/Flight Campuses. Yes, pay for a CFI starts at $17 and ends at about $21 depending on if you are certified as Private, Instrument, etc. They are not exactly 'easy' on the CFI's either but if you are a good instructor and don't get a student that wants to flunk out to go back to China--then you are doing good.
I learned quickly that having an "in" knowing someone there gets you a job easily--knowing no one there? NOT so easy. But good luck--hope this helps answer your questions, and if you want to pick my brain more go right ahead-they just let me go recently- and it is ripe for the picking!

I worked for IASCO a long time ago. This is certainly possible, but it's just as likely that it's customer's policy as well. In any case IASCO probably wouldn't be so rough on the students without the customer's approval.
