Pros
Benefits are great! Even for part-timers. You will have a consistent schedule even as a part-timer. TSA offers many opportunities to gain an associate degree in Homeland Security and Criminal justice after 6 months getting certified. You will meet all walks of life, from passengers to co-workers!
Cons
Leadership varies! There are great ones and then there are terrible ones! The terrible one's are toxic and create a uncomfortable environment to work in. Do yourself a favor and join the union to protect yourself. (Don't listen to those who tell you other wise! They are part of the problem) Many people are miserable and are THAT petty. Dealing with the public can be exhausting, AND TSA has schedule bids and vacation based on seniority, totally sucks if you a newbie.
