Some of us here are actually trying to make it better for the newbies. But, if you're content with what we currently offer, then maybe we shouldn't bother.

Like I said, pay could be better. Everything else is top notch. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Yes, the pay can be better. Personally, I'd rather stay at a hotel, but staying at the Lodge hardly made me or others unhappy.

Shhhh. You're not helping maintain the rhetoric.

Top notch??? The food is the equivalent of fast casual dining fare. If there is only a handful of residents the food options go back to the bare minimum of handburgers and cheesesteaks. No salad bar and no specials. There is absolutely NOTHING top notch about the food. It is really a shame that they get away with $2000 a month until checkride, no $6000 first yr bonus, and zero per diem in training. You are forced to eat the food or go broke.
Bearable for a week but 7 weeks is ridiculous.
With people willing to chastise their peers and stick their head in the sand by calling the lodge "top notch" it will never get better. It is clean, convenient, and friendly but when you need to pay for it by nickle and diming your newhires something is very wrong. This isn't a regional!

Yes, because I hated having to wait on the shuttle all the time. If you had a 0530 brief you had to leave the hotel at 0430 and sit around at 0 dark 30. Plus, I was at the Staybridge, that smelled of mildew and cigarette smoke. The lodge is a far nicer facility.
The pay situation could be better, but overall the lodge is a huge improvement. I put a lot of value on being able to stroll between the hotel and the training center whenever I want. The food is good and varied, and the bar is open if you need to grab a beer after a tough training event.
When I hear people complain about the lodge I put that into the "pilots will always find something to complain about" category.

With the over abundance of cameras, sometimes I did feel like big brother was watching too much. The convenience of being next to the training center was good, but yes, after a while we did sometimes feel as if we were in some cult compound. That was mitigated with group excursions off campus(it isn't a prison).
There are many more things in life to complain about than the lodge.
