Pros

Ryanair is a great company to work for. this company enables you to gain as much experience as possible. i was based in Stansted for 4 years and everyday it was a different day. this base is the best because it has a variety of route and everyday you fly with new people. Throughout the 4 years i was even based temporarily to other bases and made me appreciate what Stansted had that other base didn't have. The office coverage 24 and whenever i needed anything there's always been some support from management.like any other jobs and especially if you wanted to progress you have to work hard, but this pays off as i have received a promotion.

Cons

this job is for 'people' personality

Pros

-chance to live abroad -in some bases good salary but it is almost a mission impossible for new crew -stafftravel (however in some cases staff pays more then pax,so the main advantage is that the price of the staff ticket is always the same,even if u buy it only few hours before the flight)

Cons

-depending on the base,your workload can be almost unbearable -expect long workhours (mostly 10-12 hours spent actually on the aircraft) -terrible treatment from supervisors and crewcontrol -basically no respect for employees,they are only numbers for the company -very low salary for new employees,especially in wintertime when there are less flights -altough they promise you a comission,most of it is not paied (again depending on bases),what the company claims on stock discrepancies (altough they have no provement) -terrible quality of uniform they dont provide not even water (in some places it is available in the crewroom but in my base the tap doesnt work,you either buy it from the machine or take it from the toilet) -as there are over 50 bases around the network,there are almost no staffparties funded by the company (again depending on the bases,in places where the sales are good,some of the retail companies sometimes pay a party for the crew),i havent had a christmas party in the last 5 years -managers are unbeliavablly unprofessional,it all depends on who you arw friends with not what are you capable off -because of the financial crisis very few cabin crew resigned in the past few years what means no chance of promotion for existing staffmembers,this leads to a high level of frustration and bad atmosphere
