Pros

They have a great roster, 5 on and 3 off. They have many bases everywhere, not that you get to choose because your first base is randomly allocated despite your nationality or mother tongue or even preference, you could ask for a transfer, however it's all about your sales performance on-board and how many days you called sick throughout the year. They have a great staff travel, but that's only for people who actually have a ryanair contract, which is the minority in the company, I'd say 80 per cent of us are not directly hired with Ryan contacts but with outsourcing companies.

Cons

I paid a ridiculous amount of money just to get into the company after passing interviews and the whole course : 3000€ for the course itself, 360 €for my uniform, 500€ joining fee and of course my accommodation during the course period as well. The company won't give you anything, no support, no motivation, you're just a number. If you're not reaching your sales target of the day they will find a way to ashame you for that and put pressure on you. Don't you even try to call sick, they will create a thousand excuses not to accept your certificates and you won't get paid as a result. Crew control is impolite and they will be sending you a lot of emails and text messages all the time to get you to work before your stand-by starts.
