Pros

It's quite easy to get hired considering it's aviation

Cons

November 2016 -Expensive Training course which is clearly a legalized fraud (£2300 in total, £300 deducted from your salary every month). -No accommodation, Meals, transportation provided during the training course -No accommodation provided in the initial base where you are sent after passing the course, not even for the first days -Cost of the Uniform deducted from your wage every month, (-£30 per month, for a total of 12 months) -You get paid only when you are flying, during boarding, disembarking, or if there's any delay on the ground you don't earn a single penny. -No meals provided to the crew, not even in the longest flights (e.g. 4 hours 10 minutes to go, 4 hours 40 minutes to come back). All the cabin crew needs to bring their own food and water from home. -In every flights there's an Average Spend target to reach (e.g. £2,50 per passenger on a total of 185 passengers), the cabin manager must push the crew to sell as much as possible in order to achieve the target. A crew member who is not very good at selling may be called to Dublin to attend a meeting in which he/she get intimidated in order to push him to sell more.

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.
