Pros

You can live in many interesting places. You can live in a country without knowing its language and learn there (Ryanair doesn't require other languages than english). It's relatively well-organised airline - good maintenance, not much mess with delays, cancellations, crew being out of hours etc. Good general and safety training. It can be a good experience at the beginning but I don't advise staying in Ryanair longer than a year or two.

Cons

Very poor conditions. People do not matter for Ryanair. As long as there will be anybody willing to work for them, their approach is "if you don't like conditions, nobody stops you here". Juniors get paid only for flight hours with pax onboard (I had once a day 3pm-7am for which I got paid nothing). Quite bad organisation culture, that supports reporting your colleagues, big salary and perks difference between juniors and seniors. New contracts are always worse that the old ones and you're forced to sign a new contract when you want (or have to) change the base. The company is very sales-oriented so there are various sales targets and supervisors are unhappy if you don't reach them. Deal is simple - you got job to do and you earn money when you do it - nothing more, nothing less.

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.
