Pros

The best bit is the odd day off you might get in a foreign city, and your well earned days off at home.

Cons

It's thankless. Customers dont care about you and the company doesn't care about you. It's very physical work and you spend a lot of time trying to catch up on sleep. You will never have any kind of financial stability with the low rate of pay. One false move and you are out the door. Grandma died? too bad you cant have the day off. Sick again? Three strikes and you are out.

Pros

The free tea and coffee. My desk is nice. The free British Airways highlighter pen. An appreciation that life is too short to work here.

Cons

Huge staff turnover. Management at all levels have no airline or travel industry experience whatsoever. Formal complaints made against staff for undermining their colleagues.

Pros

Great colleagues. Fun enviroment. Everyone was helpful and management were very understanding if you had any problems. Very down to earth and make sure that all staff are doing okay everyday.

Cons

Shift work - you could have less then 24 hours notice for you shift to change. this was a constant issue where you wouldn't be able to plan anything as your shifts could change at the drop of hat. It was just down to lack of staff and too many changes happening at once.
