Pros
1. Stable Job, that can be easy dependent on your personality (Don't let passengers or coworkers get under your skin) 2. In June 2023 (apparently), TSA will be on a new pay scale that rewards time in service 3. Overtime available
Cons
1. Hard to move up at times (Often requires you to take a promotion at a different airport than the one you started at) 2. Work becomes repetitive over time unless you take on multiple responsibilities. (Checkpoint, Baggage, Hazmat, Closer, etc.) 3. TSA/TSO and Passenger interactions are an unfortunately toxic circle. Passengers can be selfish and inconsiderate, which negatively effects us, and then we pass that hate onto other unrelated passengers, as well as our coworkers. (Internalize Professional Empathy)
