Pros

Accommodation paid Salary above average for cabin crew Opportunity to get paid to see the world Buses to and from work and company accommodation

Cons

People are encouraged to report their colleagues for non compliance or making innocent non-safety related mistakes on board , which makes it difficult to trust your colleagues as any sort of report ends in disciplinary action. Layovers for ultra long haul flights are not long enough (24-30 hours for 14 hour flights) to rest and result in crew being exhausted on return sectors. Company is very unsupportive through sickness and have little to no regard for their employees health or well being. My contract was terminated after being the victim of a violent assault while on leave which left me hospitalised and being signed off work for 4 weeks due to injuries sustained, 2 of which where as advised by company doctors on my return to Dubai. Company accommodation is hit or miss, you can be extremely lucky and get accommodation in central Dubai or very unlucky and be placed in the middle of the dessert with nothing around for a good 20-30 minute drive. You have no choice on who you live with either as company will not relocate you to be closer to friends. Overall profit and money will always be a priority over employees which is a shame as the employees are the heart and soul of this company.

Pros

Benefits like kids education, housing allowance, transport allowance and travel discounts

Cons

Top heavy organisation, ridiculous in some departments. e.g. for one developer, two leads, three PMs and more managers. Locals / Nationals (most of them) not set up to succeed, be accountable, I had to take a few in my team, and never even met them in my years of working there.
