Getting a job in this day and age isn't impossible. It's very difficult to say with certainty (as we all know on this site!) that any one school can guarantee employment. FTE are great from what I've heard, but if you're a **** (not saying you are), then you can spend all the cash on all the MCC and Type Ratings you want and still not get a job cos no pilot could ever spend more than 5 seconds alone in a cockpit with you....getting the qualification and being recognised as a competent pilot is only part of that battle....it's selling yourself that's the tough bit....like most jobs...

Personally, I decided on my flight school going by what other students said, by their quality of training compared to the price and also whether they had a good reputation within the industry as a whole. I suggest you do what suits you and at this stage don't worry about the job end of the market til your MCC when you can impress the pants of the Training Captain sitting behind you...
