Pros

They pay you on time. You get a 3 year contract after completing the course. You can take up to 5 months unpaid leave and 19 days annual leave which you get paid 60 gbp per day taken.

Cons

The annual salary is maximum £15000 a year. You have to pay for your own training (€2500 if paid in full €3100 if paid by monthly deductions from your salary) + find your own accommodation at the training. They do not care about your health or wellbeing or if you have a roof over your head as you get sent out the day after your completion of the training course to the country where you must be based and immediately have to sort out your own accommodation. When a problem occurs or they're in fault they will always shift the blame not to have to pay you back or reimburse for their own mistakes. They expect all paperwork within a record amount of time but it usually takes them a couple weeks to get yours if you need it.

Pros

Once you get a Ryanair contract, the money is good and possibly one of the very few reasons why people stay. The people who work here are mostly amazing, a nice, fun atmosphere among colleagues. Even though staff travel is not the best, you still have the chance to travel around Europe and connect with family and friends.

Cons

it might look like there are great opportunities to get promoted, etc. The truth is there aren't, really after you've become a supervisor. The management has no consideration for its employees at all. I do understand that there are so many of us, but sometimes, individual circumstances should be considered. When you ask for something which would be considered normal in other places, it's a big deal. Everything is a big deal. Virtually impossible to get holidays in the summer. In my base we are not allowed to wear a coat in winter or ponytails, things that exist in other bases. Staff travel could be better (and cheaper).
