Pros

a concession of flights which makes you feel like a beggar especially when you end up coming back home with your packed bags...

Cons

hardly any chance of progression and too many tale tellers to ruin any chance of success!

Pros

Nice head office with a river running through it, Starbucks, Waitrose, gym. Opportunity to but discounted tickets in Business Class, and cheap hotels. After 5 years you get "free tickets"just pay the tax so under £1000 to Sydney in Club World. However staff travel tickets are standby so you may find yourself in business class or on a jump seat or offloaded waiting for the next flight.

Cons

BA is Incredibly bureaucratic and a very political organisation. Overall people feel very unclear responsibilities. Every 2-3 years there is a corporate wide re-organisation where people have to re-apply for their jobs. As an IBM I manage over 100 cabin crew and earn just £28k. The longer serving senior onboard cabin crew (CSD) can earn up to £60k with their allowances because they are in a very strong union (BASSA). BA complete colleague surveys every year but only publish the good news. e.g. during the cabin crew strike the survey results were kept secret. There is a real problem with management bullying, but BA have a team of internal bullying and harassment advisors to help to reduce this.
