Affirmative, I am at ZID.

My basics class had a mix of En Route, Tower, and TRACON. I've lost touch with most of my terminal buddies, but the ones the ones that went to level 5-7 towers with no tracons were checked out in 3 to 9 months(even one that struggled so much, she barely passed basics). The three TRACON people we had all went to SOCAL. I heard every one of them was struggling and last I heard 2 were close to failing, the other had all her terminal equivalents of D-sides.

I would not reccomend a high level tracon to anyone.

Centers are definitely more equiped to handle trainees, because we have such a large workforce that we can staff fulltime training departments. ZID has a better washout rate than most and more make it than do not make it.

Management is also a little more amiable because our fac rep does not flood them when grievances on every tiny thing. He try's to work with them, not against them. This intern makes it so discplinary actions occur here mostly on major things.

When we do have a training failure, most of them get a transfer to a low level tower.
