I actually held two different CFI jobs in Central Jersey. The first one was with garrett aviation at monmouth airport. By far the worst cfi job there is. the circa 1960 150 and warriors they have are the worst plus your salary is $600/month. (barely enough for a studio rent in NJ let alone anything else). after doing that for a few months, i got a job old bridge airport (3n6) with mj-air flight school. airplanes werent the greatest but the owner was willing to invest in them. on average from last april-oct, i flew 100 hours a month with students and also doing the traffic watch in nyc.i actually had your TT of 420 this time last year and now ive got my atp. the owner there is pretty cool and the pay scale isn't that bad(i would make roughly $1000 every two weeks). i would recommend mj-air very highly, very fun place to work and hang out. as far as other schools, stay away from northeast aviation(n87, 3n6, pne) and eagle view(3n6). I did hear that the school in toms river(mjx) was pretty good though also. hope this helps.
