Pros

Good to meet new countries and get a first experience

Cons

Complete lack of respect for employees, zero hour contracts, ruthless and under trained managers. Huge training costs and no social protection. No access to Unions and serious consequences when challenging manager's decisions

Pros

After several years of working for this company I still can't say what pros are! Probably none unless you're into masochism

Cons

Abysmal if you see Ryanair as an opportunity to get into aviation world and then move somewhere else, it's still now worth it - this company will ruin your dream leaving you bitter and burnt out. Try EasyJet for that matter, definitely a nicer company to work for!

Pros

Fairly stable roster pattern. Good training department and SOP's. Up until now at least, has been a place where you can fast track your career into the left seat. Will probably change once expansion stops (2012).

Cons

You are seen and treated as a unnecessary but required cost. You have almost no control or influence over your annual leave. Your contract will change at the will of the management without any negotiations. The salaries and benefits have been reduced significantly over the last 10 years despite record profits almost every year. Most pilots will have to work as "self employed" which means no social benefits contributions from the company, but in every aspect that suits them you will in effect be considered to be their "employee". You can expect to be treated with very little respect from most department as the management has created a very unfriendly environment where fear, treats and reporting of colleagues are the norms and a way to advance your career.
