Pros

During my time here I met a whole range of people and it was a great experience. You were given a months roster which was good because you can make plans on your days off.

Cons

Training was extensive and expected to cover living in London for about 2 months. Pay was deducted every month due to covering the costs of the course and the uniform (which you have to hand back anyway when you leave even though you've paid for it). The company hires anyone and everyone. On my flights I would be working with other crew members who barely spoke English, those who had a bad mental health record and someone with a heart condition. Seemed slightly dodgy considering the whole examination is in English and they have to undergo a medical check. The roster was a week of earlies and a week on lates which wasn't the best because you could never have a set routine. Your body would finally get used to waking up at 3 in the morning/going to sleep at 6pm for you to then alter it so you could last until past midnight. Killer! Senior management didn't really care and had no time for compassionate leave no matter what the circumstances. I was made to feel like a minority because I was English. The staff are from all over Europe and so they would all be quite clicky sometimes and speak in their own language when they were with their pals.

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.
