Pros

Busy place - lots of projects and challenges to learn on. Always growing the company does nt pretend to be anything more than what it is..a very successful and profitable low cost carrier. Secure employer - it is easier to get a mortgage if you are permanent with Ryanair. Most Irish banks view Ryanair as a very stable employer. This was very helpful during the recession. Staff travel is good but not as beneficial as it used to be. A lot of hotels and associated travel business will often give you an industry discount if you work for Ryanair.

Cons

20 days annual leave or flexi-time. Getting to Swords is difficult due to the poor public transportation links which means that you really have to live close by or drive.

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.
