I'm also hoping to get a position in South Florida, I'm not sure if I should go with Tower or EnRoute, any advice guys?
I think Enroute would be more interesting but also more challenging...
Well, there are multiple considerations:
1) Ability to move: easier with terminal. Sounds like when you go en-route, then you'll be stuck there for the rest of your career. With terminal, you should have ample opportunity to move up to a larger tower or tracon.
2) CPC pay (certified prof controller): probably higher at an en-route since most of these facilities are level 11/12.
3) Time to checkout: Much longer with en-route. According to
http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/air_traffic/controller_staffing/media/CWP_2008.pdf, the time to checkout on en-route is 3.1 years, and terminal is 1.9 years. (many smaller terminals are even shorter, from 6-18 months OJT + 3 months OKC) Keep in mind that the quicker you checkout, the quicker you attain CPC rate.
4) Background check: The security form for en-route (SF86) is more thorough than terminal (SF85). You may want to compare these forms if you have something in your history. (for example, sf86 asks if you have ever seen a mental health professional, while sf85 does not ask this)
5) Ease on trainees: As many have stated, en-route centers are designed to bring a trainee through training to CPC. Large terminals and tracons are not designed for this, so washout rates could be high if you get stuck at one of these terminals.
