TSA (Transportation Security Administration) Employee Reviews about "part time"

Pros

Excellent coworkers and relatively light passenger load

Cons

Cutback in pay- lost 45% when retention incentive was removed and hours were part time shift was reduced from 25 to 20 hours per week.

Pros

Part time health benefits and Union

Cons

Low morale. Easy to get in trouble. No teamwork

Pros

It's a decent place to work if you're looking for a part time job. The benefits are good and the pay

Cons

No flexibility and a lot of unscheduled overtime

Pros

Good benefits that are not dependent on full or part time hours

Cons

Dealing with the public on a daily basis.

Pros

Pay is good for a part time especially in Montana where the minimum wage is still 8 an hour.

Cons

Took several months after applying to get an interview. It is also difficult to go from part time to full time in small airports because of a lack of full time positions available and also because it's based on senority

Pros

You may get your dignity and self-esteem back once you quit. Will make the other jobs that you have had, that you thought were bad, now seem not as bad, compared to the TSA.

Cons

Low pay. Now starting most new hires as part time with less than 40 hours per week. Very little chance for advancement for males, even with previous military or law enforcement experience. Females get hired, and advanced, for being females. Results of this policy: unqualified supervisors, anyone who can do something else, leaves, anyone who is not capable of doing anything else stays. Our government and TSA management is too stupid to even see this happening.

Pros

The pay is great and retirement plan is good with matching . Management is ok depending on if they like you or not

Cons

They claim you cant do overtime as a part timer but thats not true. Dont care about their employees enough and being part time sucks.

Pros

The pay is decent, with paid time off accrued and accrued sick leave, better benefits than retail. Experience on how to deal with angry people. Guaranteed two days off. A foot in the door for further federal work. Leads, Behavior Detection Officers, and fellow officers are fantastic to work with. Promote solely from within.

Cons

There is constant contradiction on what the job is that is supposed to be performed. The mission is to secure the air ways yet they take away the ability to effectively do this. Management is quick to back stab. Unreasonably strict. Horrible shift hours. Little to no room for advancement. No loyalty from the agency towards employees. It is beyond difficult to ever take any of the time off that is accrued. Riddled with favoritism. Underappreciated. Management talks down to the individual. Those with college degrees are over looked on a regular basis for promotions. The agency is not really security oriented. Incredibly understaffed and they only hire part time.

Pros

Good benefits and part time

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

Good pay for what you do. You usually start part time depending what airport and the need but you get benefits right away.

Cons

Not much of a raise each year. You have to test each year so you can keep your job on procedure.
