Pros
Health benefits Easy entry into federal employment Consistent hours No previous education required to earn 30k per year Job security for people who are able to meet bare minimum requirements
Cons
Inconsistent from top to bottom with training, promotions, policy enforcement, working conditions TSA treats public with very little respect or dignity. For officers who do management will target you for being "soft" Breakrooms are filthy with no amenities usually. Management is far removed from daily opperations and exhibits very little competent or ability to respond to threats Work force is negative, lazy, and insensitive to people TSA is a national liability as a disaster waiting to happen because employees are too busy planning cultural awareness events instead of mastering job skills and networking with other DHS agencies
