Pros

The people you work with make the job worth it. Depending on lifestyle the hours could be great for you.

Cons

The pay and benefits are awful. Management plays favoritism. If you are liked you get rewarded. Very difficult to advance.

Pros

Easy job. Good benefits. Awesome coworkers. Part of the federal government.

Cons

- TERRIBLE management! There's a reason why the public hates TSA. It's not the officers on the floor, it's the upper level management that's giving this agency a bad name. It's an embarrassment how this agency is run by these so call "managers". The morale of this agency is so low and the only way to change that would be to clean house from the top down. - Low pay - Starting salary is only $15-16/hr and it's part time so unless you have another gig on the side, you'll probably struggle financially. - Schedule - Say good bye to your social and family life because chances are you'll work very early morning shifts (4am start time) when you're new. You'll never get weekends or holidays off. Vacation time has to be "bidded" every November so you have to plan your vacation a year in advance. God forbid if you ever need an unplanned day off. You'll accrue a lot of "sick" time but you can never use them without getting in trouble. -Favoritism - this goes hand in hand with the terrible management situation. They don't try to hide it so favoritism is blatantly clear on the floor or in the office. Unless you know someone up top, chances are you'll be on the hit list and can never move up the career ladder.
