Business Outlook

Pros

- Hierarchy on board is not as bad as in some other Asian airlines - Slightly better salary than some other airlines - Rapidly growing international company, fierce competitor to other players in the aviation industry - Free accommodation, bills and transport

Cons

- Few and rare crew who are in this job for the right reasons: travel, meeting people - Large applicant pool for cabin crew, therefore crew are rarely valued by management - Company profit does not equal to profit bonus for cabin crew - Cold, often unhelpful staff towards own colleagues

Business Outlook

Pros

- Its the blue chip firm of Dubai -International Travel benefits are amazing - Brand recognition on CV is amazing -Brand Image & Prestige benefits also - Other Associated benefits are good - Internal Training & Development programs are good - Its definitely a Company that one should experience for a few years

Cons

- Work Culture is very very British and therefore you need to Do or Die! - Emiratis & White Europeans dominate at the Senior Management levels and other nationalities do not get promoted past VP levels - Internal promotion takes forever as the dept politics want to hire someone from within their dept - Still does not have the HR environment of a Fortune 100 - Nationality based discrimination is huge and a big turnoff for many talented people - Salary package is a lot less than other multinationals based in Dubai -You are getting paid mainly in brand image and prestige. Actual cash is very low.
