Cons
You are hired to work from 9am to 5:30pm, but you are told to get there at 8:30am and work until 6:30pm so you basically don't get overtime, if you start selling and have to rep the flight meaning you have to go on the plane for over the weekend for example its great fun but the hours can be crazy and you still have to show up to work next morning, after you pass your 6 month training period you go on the rooster for "on call" so you get phone calls all night long of go now cargo flights and even if you haven't slept you still have to show up next morning, so no wonder everybody complains about long hours. I can understand if you are busy to stay longer but if nothing is going on why stay until 6:30? Like someone said they don't like you to take 1 hour lunch, that's why they say they have a kitchen with cheap food so you don't get to go out and spend a lot of time away from the phones. They want you to be on the phone all the time which is allright except when you are actually working on a quote and it takes time to find out prices and quote the clients especially when you work with other countries where things are not as quick moving as UK and USA.
