Pros

I learnt English, I met the best people Im still in touch with. As a personal experience, and for learning lots in short amount of time, it is the right company to kick start your career. After i you will get lots of great job offers . Saalry is OK only if you fly a lot BUT recently ESPECIALLY ALL WINTER, they force you to take UNPAID LEAVE. I had good experience time.

Cons

NO PAY IN WINTER or very low pay. No basic salary, as most of us were contracted by AGENCIES. So we were NOT ryanair employees. Unpaid leave in winter 1-2 months.. Fly schedule is UNFLEXIBLE. They threaten people after 6 months onwards that if they dont sale more on board they get fired, and randomly they fire people with any excuse. IF AS CABIN CREW you are sick (3-5 days in a row) they invite you to a meeting (so that you are warned that nxt sick you are out).... they did this even to people who worked there for 5 years, and never got sick.. Then, they had ear ache (as crew you CANNOT fly , it is forbidden by law and by doctors) WELL YOU gt threaten every day . They do treat people with disrespect if they can.

Pros

Decent salary, but still not enough, and not even comparable with other airlines, also the low cost ones.

Cons

Everything. The worst company I have ever worked for, 0, ZERO respect for the workers. Your are just a slave, that needs to sell as much scratch cards and products on board. If you don't do it? They will call you on your personal mobile and tell you that it's not acceptable and stuff like this, trying to scare you. I have seen people FIRED for this, and even for other stupid things. Also sometimes, it's SO unsafe! There's cabin crews, that I met, that literally don't know anything about this work, not even closing the doors properly. Absolutely a disaster, but yeah, you just need to sell as much as possible, who cares about the rest.. Also, you are not getting paid for OT, it doesn't even exist, usually you do 4 flights in a day, you could start at 5:00 AM (It means that you need to get up at 3:30 maybe, and be at the airport on time), and get back home after 5/6 PM, it happened to me a lot of times, and my health, was absolutely a disaster, I had to leave because I had a lot of medical conditions due to flying too much. I couldn't do that anymore.
