Simply DON'T - Cabin Crew Member Ryanair Employee Review

-Salary is less than minimum wage in the UK. -They take almost 30 pounds per day from your salary if you call sick -YES, even if you've got a sickliness given by the GP. -You get a bonus of 150 pounds for not being late or call sick per month. Payed twice a year. So, if you call sick you don't get the bonus of that month. What leads to people going to work very sick........ -You don't get any food or water on board. You have to bring your own or purchase it as if you were a passenger. -The flights for the staff are often cheaper to buy as a passenger than as a worker. As a Ryanair worker most of the flights cost 80 pounds.. Its just worth it sometimes. -You don't get paid for delayed hours of a flight. -You are not allowed to wear flat shoes (girls) on board. You ALWAYS have to wear hills. What obviously makes you feel your feet and sometimes your back very sore when you finish the shift. -Your family or friends doesn't have ANY benefits - For example cheap flights or ANYTHING. - Big company so not a chance to get your ideas heard - You're just a number - No rewards for working hard.. at all. - More focused on SALES than in actual safety of the passengers. - A lot of competition for sales between the crew. Many N1/PU stealing sales from juniors. - Every month they deduct money from your payslip because they say there are missing items on the bar. How do you know its true? you don't . So they literally take whatever amount they want from your salary because "There a missing things in the bar" without any proves of it. - The crew is supposed to get "10% of the commissions" but it NEVER happens. They always take money from you. -They take ages to answer a query. Or even worst, to solve it. -They force you to read a thing called: Fleet Tweet which is like a social media you are forced to join. (only for ryanair workers). This can be VERY annoying since its all about SALES on board. -If you have a medical and the passenger needs water for example, and you take it from the bar, the crew has to pay for it. -Sometimes you've got very long shifts. for example more than 12 hours, and next 12 hours after you landed, you have another flight to operate. So theres no chance to rest properly. -You have to pay 100 pounds to get the airport ID which you need to work for them. WHY do we have to pay for an ID that we need to work for them? that doesn't even belong to us?! -If you've got a car. You have to pay for parking, even if you work at the airport. All other airlines pay for their workers parking area but Ryanair. -You don't get paid for being on stand by. So basically you have to be at home for 6 hours or more, (most of the times it last 12hours) aware if you get called to run to the airport but you are not getting paid for it. But you have to be at home because if they call you, you have an hour to be at the airport. -A lot of pressure for SALES. All they care about is sales... -They say you have to apply for UNPAID LEAVE, so if you do what they ask you to do, you don't get paid for that time you take, but if you don't apply they allocate it to you and you do get paid. So basically if you obey you don't get paid, but if you don't, you actually get paid. -They always find a way to not pay to you. -UK contracts are a joke, honestly. -If you are thinking to join the company because you want to travel, im sorry to disappoint you but WE DONT EVEN GET TO SEE THE AIRPORTS. We go to destination and straight back. You will never leave the aircraft. -Most of the people is 20 or 21 years old. Very very young crew. (Of course, someone older could never afford a life with the money we make in there). -They literally take everyone for the job. So theres many people with no skills at all. -You just get an actual Ryanair contract after 4 years. So before that you are just working for another agency. -Very difficult to grow up in the company as they don't give contract to become a PU very often. Maybe once every two years and just a few, like 5 contracts.. In a base with more than 100 juniors. -No chance to save money. Max, if you are lucky and sale like crazy, 1200 pounds a month. Also if you fly a lot, because you get pay 5,50 pounds per FLIGHT hour.
