Pros

You meet lots of international people, sometimes the crew is funny, stable roster (5-2 off-5-3 off), good salary during summertime only. Lots of bases around Europe, possibility to get a transfer anywhere based only on you sales performance.That's all.

Cons

You have to pay for your training course (2000 € approx) to give in advance or giving 1200 € in advance and then deduction from salary for the next 8 months. Totally sales orientated airline, with managers and supervisors blaming on you if you don't sell beers, chips, scratchcards etc, making you feeling like an undeserving person. You have to pay for your uniform every month, actually a really crap uniform, not sized and low quality material. Initial salary with training deduction is 600 to 800 € depending on how many hours you fly and the base, first months are really difficult to survive, struggle to eat. You have to pay for your staff travel, if you want to go back home you have to pay minimum 50 € one way, infact it's better checking the online Ryanair website for cheaper fares, even because as a staff travel your seat is not guaranteed. No food for crew, you have to pay even for your Kitkat, or bottle of water. They keep you on stress continuosly, and if you call sick it's going to be a fight between you and the company, they gonna investigate on you, on why you called sick, what do you eat, and giving you ultimatum that in case you call sick again you going to be dismissed, that is what happened to me. Promotions and base transfers based purely on a sales performance and attendance basis. If you leave the company before one year contract, you need to pay 200 € plus the holidays you had in the past plus the allowance they gave to you at the beginning for a total of 1000 € approx. Base supervisors always ready to blame on you, checking your grooming, checking your bags, and stressing you all the time. Competitions always in progress between crew members, who sells a lot could win trips or dinners.
