Pros

good salary, no tax, free accommodation with all utilities, free uniform, cheap staff travel ticket (ID90), or guaranteed seat (ID/50).

Cons

high flying hours (max 120 hours/month), minimum rest in between, very hard to have string days off attached to leave because roster people would def put 1 turn around in between, nowadays crew reports each other/ snitch, so-called "performance manager" would love to punish crew over their trivial mistake (it give a sense of the kind of getting a bonus or boost for their career path), your punishment would different depend of managers you got. The roster tends to change at the last minute so its don't be too excited when you got flights you bided for because.....

Business Outlook

Pros

- very good company. - gives a number of benefits. - salary is on time. - 2.5 days weekend.

Cons

- work culture is very poor. - you are encouraged to work way long after the working hours and even on weekends. It leaves you no time for your personal life. - Finance department is very short staffed. - the work pressure & work culture is very overwhelming. Strongest of the people cry because of this. - the Assistant Manager/s are recently promoted without any people management experience or training. Hence, they are not well versed as to how to handle a team, behaving extremely rude most of the time.
