Oct 25, 2021 - Transportation Security OfficerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros

Why One Star Rating You ask
Nov 25, 2021 - TSO (Transportation Security Officer) in San Diego, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The Benefits for full time officers are decent. You can transfer to any airport nationwide that is federal, You get TSA Pre Check for free as long as you are employed.
Cons
First The Pay, Other Federal Agencies pay their officers very well TSA on the other hand does not so if you have a family with no other source of income (ie. Good Investments, a Retirement or a Pension) and want to put your child/children in a decent school what you will receive without working 13+ hours a day 7 days a week will not be enough to do so or live on comfortably even in the lower paid areas of the country. Second Other Officers, There are officers that you will work with that will make your shift more difficult then it needs to be on top of the lazy ones that will show up and do nothing all day long and constantly complain about how busy it is and how they don't want to do a certain position. Lastly Your Schedule, You have to "bid" on the schedule you want, but the bid for people with low seniority isn't much of a bid rather getting the leftover that everyone with a higher seniority didn't want which 9 times out of 10 are some of the worst shifts.

Good benefits, opportunities of adjusting your schedule. Switch from part-time to full-time in a short time.
Cons
A stressful environment, the airport is more pro passenger than security.

Good benefits and easy to move up.
Sep 17, 2021 - Lead Transportation Security Officer in Tampa, FLRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Really easy to move up and promote (depending on the airport) definitely easier at bigger airports.
Cons
Once again depending on the airport management could be too much to deal with. Alot of times upper management are not in the same page which could be frustrating.

great moving opportunities
Sep 1, 2021 - Transportation Security Officer in Roanoke, VARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
you can work anywhere in the U.S that has TSA at their airport.
Cons
sometimes long hours and angry people.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Supervisors and managers do nothing.
Sep 7, 2021 - TSO (Transportation Security Officer) in Long Beach, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Retirement benefits are a Plus.
Cons
Lay low. Nobody is your friend. You will get reported even if you did nothing wrong, so somebody can get ahead on your back. Managers and supervisors will do nothing/or the bare minimum of a shrug to help you …. even if you have a significant issue. Vacation Time is impossible, they only allocate a certain amount of people per day off. Even if your vacation was booked prior to your entry on duty, if it makes the airport look bad to have too many off on any day-they will not approve your vacation. If it makes the airport look bad they do not care you do not get to do anything. You are no longer human, you are just a number. There is significant favoritism, and if you are not a favorite you are pretty much screwed. If you are in the minority in your airport, and the morale is bad, there’s nothing you can do to Lay low. The officers will gang up on you, yell at you and make fun of you. They practice a pretty strong cold shoulder when they aren’t being actively verbally aggressive.
