Pros

Staff travel (even this is restricted)

Cons

Long 12 hour shifts Constant threat of bonus being deducted Managers (the bridge) cause more issues than actually being there Lots of people on a power trip How the airline can safely operate is beyond me, lots of short cuts, being told not to follow procedures, management focused on pointless targets e.g how many phone calls answered etc No real training given, procedures can change day to day but nobody advised, or the wrong people advised. No clear management structure ‘Winter training’ provided even though we were not given a say in what the training was about. New rules on swaps causing arguments and allowing people to work for free. I’ve worked additional 2 days for free because of this. HR no support

Pros

Decent salary, but still not enough, and not even comparable with other airlines, also the low cost ones.

Cons

Everything. The worst company I have ever worked for, 0, ZERO respect for the workers. Your are just a slave, that needs to sell as much scratch cards and products on board. If you don't do it? They will call you on your personal mobile and tell you that it's not acceptable and stuff like this, trying to scare you. I have seen people FIRED for this, and even for other stupid things. Also sometimes, it's SO unsafe! There's cabin crews, that I met, that literally don't know anything about this work, not even closing the doors properly. Absolutely a disaster, but yeah, you just need to sell as much as possible, who cares about the rest.. Also, you are not getting paid for OT, it doesn't even exist, usually you do 4 flights in a day, you could start at 5:00 AM (It means that you need to get up at 3:30 maybe, and be at the airport on time), and get back home after 5/6 PM, it happened to me a lot of times, and my health, was absolutely a disaster, I had to leave because I had a lot of medical conditions due to flying too much. I couldn't do that anymore.
