Pros

New fleet, stable roster, many days off, staff travel (sometimes is cheaper to buy a normal ticket), possibility to get a transfer.

Cons

Pushing to sell more and more, the only topic on briefings are sales. Walking up and down the aisle with the trolleys to sell more and killing people with PA's. Commisions are paid by owner device, not shared equally, so crews are fighting for them sometimes. Company doesn't care about anything alse than sales when promoting people. Quality of service onboard is very poor as they are hiring everyone cause they need more people. No benefits, blue tickets just for pursers, no food and water for crew onboard. Usually it takes ages to contact management. Sometimes happen that payslips are incorrect. At the begining salary is very low, like it happened to me first year; 300€, 400€, 700€. No basic salary for juniors. Quality of uniforms is really bad, 30€ evey month is given as a grooming allowance, but if you need f.e. new jacket you pay 90€, or coat 100€. Long walks on the airport ramp, bus services are not provided for ryanair crew at the airport ramp. Cleaning is not provided during turnarounds, so aircraft fly up to 6-8 sectors without cleaning, crew is responsible for that.

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.
