TSA (Transportation Security Administration) reviews

Parking is south of the airport allow an additional 30-45 mins minimum to clock in on time. must ride a bus and wait time can be as long as a half-hour walking from where the bus drops you off to pick up a radio and be in the briefing room to clock in Depending on the team if you receive a briefing before you start work Three different areas must walk to before clocking in: walk from the bus drop off to break room to drop off lunch, then to pick up the radio and then to briefing room (all locations that are a distance from each other to include on different levels of the airport) No continuity told to complete mission one way only to be told not to do it that way by another person Go to FLETC and return to be told immediately to forget what they taught you it can't be done that way Employees are very negative and morale is the lowest I have ever seen I have heard people have been there for years and continually passed over for promotional opportunities foul language is rampant Breakroom takes about 5 to 10 mins off 30 min lunch not only due to walk in crowded areas but because you are stopped a million times by passengers for help you bearly have time to eat anything much less relax for a few mins extremely stressful dealing with employees as well as passengers Have been cussed at yelled at and demeaned by passengers on a daily basis. Every 6 months schedule changes Most work EVERY holiday EVERY weekend Work-life balance is nonexistent If you want to take leave most of the time you have to run around and find someone willing to take your shift or switch with you Breaks are difficult because you cannot get off the floor to the break room and have any time left for a break before you have to head back up to the floor. Lunches are about 10 mins after you take into account the need to use the restroom, walking to breakroom and dodging passengers.

-Terrible Management. Lack of concern/consideration for workforce and abuse their powers. -Inflexibilty. The hours they have are the hours you get. Mercy on your soul if you want part-time at one of the larger airports. -Mandatory Overtime -Promotions don't feel merit based. More often it's whoever sucks up to management the most. This shows a lot when it comes to those in management roles. -Constant ambiguity. Lack of understanding/implementation of new rules/procedures, and lack of ability to explain it to the workforce. Many times, a manager will say one thing, only to be contradicted by another one. -Lack of communication. See above. Very little is communicated, it's often vague, and there isn't enough time for the workforce to understand what is going on. -Insane variability- things can change on a day to day basis. Sometimes, literally minutes later. Hard to keep track of everything, particularly when different management people tell you to do different things. -Weak post-certification training. Once you're certified, you're expected to know every aspect of the job and every single rule and procedure, and there is little room for error. -Hostile environment. Passengers act terribly, and you are in general treated badly most of the time. This extends to the workforce too; many of the long time employees have little respect for newer ones. -Attrition. You lose alot of people everyday. In practice, this means they will work you extra hard every day as much as they can. Holds especially true for the females (may the lord have mercy on your kind soul)
