Pros

Apparently the pay is lucrative in comparison to similar budget airlines, but you’ll be mentally in debt so it’s your choice. Genuinely the only ‘pro’ I can think of.

Cons

I honestly don’t know where to begin. As an ex Royal Air Force aircraft engineer, I am used to dealing with some difficult people and situations, but this place is something else. I wouldn’t trust the management to tell me the time, let alone train me properly to carry out my job (of which none did). The whole building is run on inside friendships and affairs, it’s the most toxic, incestuous environment I’ve ever worked in. Not to mention the flea bites on your ankles from the worn out rotten carpet in the ‘head office’ (which is a glorified portacabin). If you’ve got decent qualifications, ambition and a personality, look elsewhere. I handed in my notice after being signed off with work related stress. The company came to the conclusion (against the word of my doctor, auto immune specialist and myself) that it wasn’t work related stress, and that it was related to my family life. It’s strange that since leaving I’ve suffered neither stress nor anxiety, and I am actually very happy now and enjoying my life. Please, do yourself a favour and avoid.

Pros

Outside of the corporate offices, out on the ground can be fun, but management still aren't very nice to work with.

Cons

CEO Steve Heapy puts on a front to customers, behind closed doors is VERY unprofessional. Shouts at staff, punches walls, slams doors, sacks staff without reason (not me). Even held me in a room, wouldn't let me out until he got the answers he needed, which I couldn't get without speaking with my team first. There is what's known as the 'trap door', every half a year a large chunk of staff members go down the 'trap door'. Basically, sacked without reason, paid off. This generally happens to management or someone in a decent position.

Pros

I worked at the city centre location in Leeds: - City centre location which is easily accessible - Free tea/coffee - Good introduction to the Scrum methodology for those who have never worked in an agile team before

Cons

- zero flexibility, the hours are set in stone, you either work from 08;00 to 17:00, or 08:30 to 17:30, and the manager's have the temerity to call this 'flexi-time'. - No opportunities to work from home - Favouritism abounds, if your face doesn't fit you will never progress - No reward or recognition scheme - No clear career paths or pastoral support - Staff are expected to pay for their own Christmas party - Staff are expected to come into the office to work the following afternoon after they have worked on an overnight release - High staff turnover - Below average number of days for annual leave - Pitiful employee pension contribution - No car parking facilities - Very much a top-down approach to working, directives would often be sent down from senior managers and those working on the front line would be expected to drop everything at a moments notice
