Vantaggi
5 days on 3 days off roster: good time off but not so good when you need a SECOND job just to support yourself. Good job for someone living at home, not paying bills but getting based at home will be lucky and rare as most have to move away from home. Base not confirmed until you already start training.
Svantaggi
Do not listen to the reviews saying you get 1200 average a month. NEW starters joining now get around £600 basic pay and £5 an hour. Even on maximum hours (100 a month), you will be scrapping £12,000 a year after tax. Training before i even started was changed 1 week before scheduled start date to a complete different place 2 days away. Paid up to 1500 in accommodation as they chose one of the most expensive hotels to train in. midway through training, hotel was changed forcing everyone to arrange other things as we had to move last minute. 4 days in Stansted hotel was paid for but no transport between training centre and hotel as they had cancelled bus, had to walk at the side of a motorway just to get home as absolutely no transport in the area other than £40 airport taxi's. Should have seen this as a red flag to begin with. There is no staff travel benefits worth it: it is cheaper to buy a normal passenger ticket and actually guarantee yourself a seat. 10% commission is a lie - after the company takes away all the discrepancies from food thrown out/ things that spoil inside the trolley or something misplaced, this will come out of YOUR commission. Transfers to other bases practically impossible, management will favour people and will only give transfer based on impossible sales targets and how many sick days you have. Get used to not being able to understand crew as most crew are from Spain/ Italy and will speak their own language although it is only English allowed between crew communication. Despite several memo about English onboard, most crew will communicate important things during service and general conversation so English only speakers cannot understand which is quite frankly rude and dangerous in the event of an emergency. General rude crew Most crew will steal sales and will favour more senior crew so get used to everyone having 100s in sales whilst you have maybe 20 euros worth in your pinpad. 25 min turnaround on every flight. could be a 40 min flight to Dublin or a 4.5 hour flight to Canaries and you will still have 25 mins to pick up rubbish and clean up as crew do this, disembark and embark pax and go straight home again. Then have people complaining all the way home because there was no cleaners to pick up every crumb from the last passengers. Wage can barely afford a room rent in this city, after bills etc you will have nothing if you have to live on your own/ move away from home. If you have no bills or outgoings and looking for just experience then its a good job if you can deal with all the negatives. My advice is to stay away from this airline, save yourself the money and look and think: look how they treat their customers, they treat you even worse. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I wish i listened to the reviews before i did this.
