I did my trianing in PEA between 2009-2010, so I cannot guarantee that my statements are still valid. However:

Initial instructor (with FOIs) was done either through CFII part 141 or MEI part 61. Your call. Rumor has it that the complex single-engine airplane (PA28R-180) was not suitable for initial CFI-A.

The school is very thorough and will not sign you up for FAA checkride unless you really are ready.

When I did my training, everyone got hired but the ones failing several times (or failing the OPC, which was way easier than the checkride itself).

Once hired, follow the school policies regardless of your own opinion (even though some seem inefficient and pointless) and you will gain tons of hours quickly. Be ware of you student's passrates (!) :-)
