Pros

Staff Travel Part of Ryanair Group

Cons

Low salary Office situated in Schwechat, far from Vienna, only reachable by train/car No transparency 0 empathy towards employees, especially flight attendants that can barely get some vacation days Mobbing is part of the company culture and employees get targeted and laid off without any notice People without education get in high management positions due to favouritism Newer employees get higher salaries than the hardworking ones that have been longer in the company Unreasonable deadlines and no one is fully satisfied with your performance Anger issues in some employees that really put the whole office in a bad and toxic environment Overtime expectations without any compensation No flexible working times Home office is considered a privilege and can only be achieved by some employees and only on specific day/days No physical IT department in the Vienna Office, so employees can only get remote support for software issues. Hardware issues have to be solved by random people from the office Work during some weekends and travelling is expected and non negotiable No proper trainings Random people getting promotions for doing the bare minimum and hard working employees are not being respected The general manager got into this high position after just a few months of being CEO assistant without having any background or education Legal issues Former employees sue the company due to very good reasons No job stability Random lay offs to install fear among employees, so they remain quiet

Pros

- Travel discounts - The team in Malta is comprised of highly professional and competent individuals - Some great staff in Vienna, especially in the Training Dep.

Cons

- Toxic work culture and rapid turnover due to General Manager who lacks the experience and academic background to perform her role. She creates unnecessary tension and has targeted several individuals until burnout and leaving. Also, she promotes and hires based on preferences (Vienna Office) - HR at Lauda is just Administration, there is no People strategy, hence you cannot “report” someone to HR, as nobody cares about employee wellbeing unfortunately - General mood is low, and staff is pretty exhausted - No flexibility, no work from home, long commuting hours due location outside of Vienna

Decent Job

Pros

-Very relaxed compared to Ryanair DAC -Small base so it’s easier to make friends -Full-time job but actually is more like a part-time. Fly and work relatively less than other airlines with almost the same pay as other full time jobs. -Staff travel pretty cheap as low as £23 for a return flight.

Cons

-Sometimes very long shifts (I would say 30% of the times we have 4 flights a day). The rest are 2 flights which is much more convenient than 4. -No meals provided for cabin crew. We have to pay if we want to eat anything on board. -Whether you work 40 hours or 100 hours a month it only makes a small difference in the salary because the hourly pay is lower and majority of the salary consists of the basic pay that we get. Therefore majority of crew prefer to be home stand by then to fly. -Delays happen now and then which we do not get payed for. -Getting sick is almost forbidden. You get meetings for the smallest things in regards to absences and late shows.
