Pros

*good availablity for VTO's, if you want to "buy" a free day. *salary in my base was good, you could save up a lot. *check-in/-out in my base was fine (no early than 5, no later than 2) *unlimited staff travel, pretty cheap tickets *salary always on time *flights mostly on time, no delays

Cons

*forget about choosing your dates for the annual leave, you will be assigned, prepare to be assigned the days very chaotic (e.g. one flight in the middle of the 10 OFF days block) *you sales skills are closely monitored, you can get in trouble if you don't sell enough *there will be a lot of pressure to sell Scratch Cards, that's how the company gets a lot of money without any investment. *expect to be underpaid on payday and receive the rest of the money when they want, if they want *you don't receive the the payslips on time *expect having major changes in your roster without a heads-up or explaination, then having to send dozens of queries to find the reason. *expect to be ignored by operations and inflight management (e.g. you send a ticket, they respond complete non-sense, then close the ticket) *once you resign, there is no way of contacting the company or HR, they will probably contact you when they remember or if you sue them. *you will be trated like a crewcode, not like a person. *there are a lot of people willing you have your job, so if you don't sell enough during probation period they will fire you. *if you get sick during probation period, they will fire you (yes, even if you have a doctor's recommandation"

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.
