DEALING WITH UNCOOPERATIVE PASSENGERS SEEING FLIGHTS TAKE OFF SAFELY

a typical day is screening passangers boarding airplanes, hardest part of job is dealing with people who do not want to get screened the best part of the day is meeting people

I loved being able to meet people from different countries.

Usually under staffed, but quality co-workers. I've learned that if you don't work as a team it can be a long day.

The job had a crazy schedule. To early in the morning. You did not sleep very well. I learned a lot regarding security and government procedures. The management was not approachable and very hard to communicate. Very good relationships with all my co-workers. The hard part of the job was that you depend every year to taking a several test to keep you – more...  job. I enjoyed to see the passengers traveling safely. – less

Great work place! I like that this was a position that required high customer interaction. Got to meet plenty of good people.

very fast pace job 24/7 7 days a week. Ive learned that its very important to pay attention to what people are bringing in to the airport even the most normal thing could possible be something dangerous, it is a job i loved doing.

I really enjoy the job I do,but management micromanages everything makes it hard sometimes to keep a positive outlook.A typical day includes ensuring the traveling public is safe and secure for their flights,managements stresses on too long of lines which we can't go any faster or do anything about except to just concentrate on the job at hand.Too many – more...  co-workers look for things to get others in trouble,but mostly co-workers are good people.I have learned alot about different types of co-workers and people in general it has taught me more patience and to not worry about things I can't control. – less

My typical work day consist of many routine procedures such as bag searches, pat-downs, and travel document checking, Though routine I do not find it dull and refuse get complacent. The TSA has taught me skills that I think would benefit me as a Police Officer such as, maintaining a command presence, situational awareness skills, and even in my routine – more...  procedures the experiance with verifying identification documents and pat-downs, also, the searching of differnent items a person could be carrying.

The TSA has a good managemnt base and they do what they can for the workers if possible, but the management is very seriouse with rules and regulations because we are security after all.

As far as the hardest part of my job, I dont find being a Transportation Security Officer Difficult. If you pay attention to what you are taught everything will be fine.

I enjoy the people I work with the most. Its a very friendly open environment with people who are serious about this job and I can deeply respect that. – less

Working for TSA overall has been an enjoyable experience. When i graduated college I was given the opportunity to work for the federal government and the feeling of a reliable and steady job. I'm not wanting to up and leave TSA for just anything, but I would like to test the waters and see what other opportunities there for me out there.

an average day at work was fast paced and hectic. I learned to monitor behavior of passengers flying through the airport along with identifying different objects via exray machine. Managemnet with this company was great. My co workers a lot of the time were under stress dealing with paasengers and the everyday hustle and bustle of an airport in a large – more...  city. The hardest part of this job was trying to dicipherthe many emotions of the passengers.thes most enjoyable part on this job for me was working in a fast paced enviornment along with public interaction. – less

sucuring the flying public in a stressful environment and making sure the airways are safe for the USA

Even though only 6 months on the job I feel the TSA although a needed organization much needs to be done about a few of the areas. The constant testing is ridiculous being these people are being tested over and over again every single day, with real actual passengers and the fake ones who come in and try to pull a fast one. THe SOP needs more clarification, – more...  too much of it is based on personal interpretation. The fact that people can go on vacation and be forced to return before its over is ludicrous. Its a gov't run organization and I was very displeased with the benefits and how much they cost. – less

At the TSA you will be contributing a great deal to our nations security while dealing exclusively with the public. You will face many challenges however, are well prepared to overcome them.

Great environment where everyone worked as a team player. Fun environment because got a chance to meet a different culture of people

The job at TSA is very stressful. Most of the Stress is cause by uppermanagement. They are more worried about what is going on in the down time than what is happening with the procedures.

I enjoyed my 8 years at TSA and now after a little more than a year away of recovery from major surgery I hope to regain an opportunity to get rehired and continue my career with TSA.
