How much money does a tso make

Shawn in Brandon, South Dakota. For everyone that is a Transportation Security Officer, how long did it take for you to get a schedule that had weekends off?

When your first started, did you have to work every weekend? Unite Us in Venice, Florida. Did you already get the job? I had to drive an hour away to take a test, came home and received an email saying I passed. Then, I had to fill out an EXTENSIVE background check application online.

It took approximately 3 hours to complete online I still haven't heard back I filled it out 2 weeks ago Bernie in Columbia, South Carolina. Shawn in Brandon, South Dakota said: Almost all security jobs, just like retail or hospitality , require some weekend work.

Any single SO, public or private sector, who gets every weekend off may very well be depriving their co-workers' children of time with their parents. Rod in New York, New York. Received an offer to work as a part-time screener at Newark. Does anyone know the process and difficulty to switch to full-time?

Rod in New York, New York said: Thanks for the info What is a slip-shift? A slip-shift is when you come in on one shift and work 4 hours, then you have hours off in between which can be different each day, then you work another 4 hours on a different shift.

Your hours change daily and mostly likely will end up working somedays during your breaks. And if you need a day off you have to go through two sets of supervisors, which means if one says yes and the other no, you don't get your day off. Most people who have done it, don't recommend it. Also, when a regular hour full time position does open up, you are usually passed over because they need people to do slip-shifts.

The money isn't bad on slip-shifts, but the hours leave alot to be desired. You'll end up being at work at least hours a day, yet only getting paid for You'll have no time for yourself or other things outside of work. Ted in Silver Spring, Maryland said: What is the starting salary for a TSO position? It changes between airport and state. Sarah in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am thinking about applying for a full time split shift position at the airport here.

It's really small they just started getting a full schedule of commuter flights , and I live less than 10 minutes away, which would allow me to LEAVE on my break and get stuff done. My question is, would I be scheduled 2 days off per week? I understand that it might two seperate days, and not the same ones from week to week.

Sarah in Santa Fe, New Mexico said: You will always get two days off per week. And most of the time they will be the same days off. However, TSA does have a habit of changing your days off frequently. So you might have Tuesday and Wednesday off for 5 weeks, then you'll have Sunday and Monday off for 3 weeks, then you'll have Monday and Thursdays off for 8 weeks.

But you will always get 2 days off unless of course you volunteer to give up one of your days to get overtime. Herb Taylor in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

I waited 14 months to get a job offer as PT TSO. Time varies greatly by airport and by sex. Airline schedules dictate manpower needs. TSA is a large GOVT. It is good to have patence, sense of humor and a thick skin to work in TSA. M S L in New Braunfels, Texas. Herb Taylor in Virginia Beach, Virginia said: What caused the 14 month wait. Was it the background check and additional training? My wife just passed the test today so we are waiting on a response for the next phase of the application process.

Can you provide us with a more detailed step process of what you had to do during the entire application process and an estimated timeline for each phase? M S L in New Braunfels, Texas said: I just got called today for an appointment for an interveiw. I have applied twice and have not heard back from them. Although I see new TSA's at my airport alot. I am willing to work any schedule and I dont know what the holdup is.

Starting to think being a single white guy is not helping.

Maybe if I was of another ethnic group or gender it would help. Ohwell waht are ya gonna do. Perhaps they don't need men at your airport. There an extreme shortage of women in this profession. I currently work with a couple who applied at the same time, yet the husband didn't get called to work for a year and half after his wife got the job.

Or maybe other people have better quailifications like security or military experiance. Unless your airport is in the process of massively expanding, don't expect the hiring process to be fast. It could take years. I started the process about a month ago.

It went scary fast for a while. I filled out the online application and was told I was accepted next day. Day after that I was invited to take the online test.

Passed on the next day. Got an invite to take the computer based test at a location near me 50 miles away. Took that about a week from the invite. Told I passed that afternoon. Later that week I got a call inviting me for an "assesment". Had to wait until last week to take that.

During that week I read in the local paper that the commuter flights into my airport were on hold airlines didn't have required paperwork from BLM, Forest Service, etc. During my assesment I noticed on the paperwork it said part time.

I asked them to clarify. During the 2 weeks between my call and the assesment they had changed the job opening to part time, but I was still down for full time. I passed my assesment and accepted the tentative offer of a job. If they call and offer me part time I will have to pass, I need a full time job. I interviewed for a nice office job that pays the same that week. No matter, since my assesment I have heard Zero.

Of course this is Thanksgiving week, and they are doing another round of assesments next week. I wish them good luck filling this these positions. Cheryl in Commerce Township, Michigan. Just wondering what the "assesment" consisted of? I am thinking that might be my next step.

Sarah in Placitas, New Mexico. Cheryl in Commerce Township, Michigan said: Can't really go into detail about what happened- they make you promise not to. There is a color vision test, paperwork, fingerprints and a couple of interviews. You have a leg up being female. Mimi in New Braunfels, Texas. It varies greatly by airport. If available, fulltime offered after training period. So is there anyway that a person can take the test and everything for the TSA slot in a different city than the job.

Then if you get the job move to that city? Rico in Carol Stream, Illinois. I have gone throught pretty much all passing the interview and all. TSA uses a contractor to provide the preemployment services. If you don't mind recertifying twice a year to verify you have not forgotten your SOP requirements, this job, Screening Officer can be both chalenging and rewarding.

The best news is with turnover, you probally will be offered full time and opportunities for promotion to Lead with at about 2 years. You will get a Band increase from D to E, after 2 years of good service ie "Meets Standards" good luck: Matt in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sarah in Placitas, New Mexico said: All applicants and persons interviewed are subject to non disclosure agreements regarding the activities, questions, and information presented at any point during the application and interview process.

Officers who successfully complete the process and become certified are not allowed to discuss the interview or application process even amongst themselves under the same penalties. I would probably take this job if not for the split-shift work. Dave in Lansing, Michigan. I just got called to take the 2. Have no ideal what to expect. Marcella in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was told you have to pass the pre-background check before you're call. Is there a long waiting period for this check?

Virgil in Brownstown, Indiana. I was just wondering if being arrested in the past for a misdomenor will prevent you from being hired. Virgil in Brownstown, Indiana said: Pretty sure it will. Not to say that everyone who works for TSA has never been arrested. But they draw the line somewhere, I'm not sure where though. Rich 6th year Tso in Norristown, Pennsylvania. It depenends what for and if the punishment could include up to a year jail time, if found guilty.

In addition if it has anything to do with domestic violence or violence in general , drugs, theft. Also it depends how long ago the incident had occured. Rico in Carol Stream, Illinois said: Marcella in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania said: The whole process took me about 16 months that was a few years ago tho but it was in the same city. So good luck hope to see you on a checkpoint, or in a baggage area soon.

Background check is good for 1 year and if you are still not hiring after that time, how do you updated your application file? Chris in Escanaba, Michigan. Bonham in Escanaba, Michigan. Dave in Lansing, Michigan said: Paul in Seattle, Washington. The hush is that the Transportation Security Administration does not allow you to talk about the hiring process. Much like the FBI's hiring process is classified. Don't worry it's not that hard. I worked at TSA for almost a year and a half and although it has it's up's and downs it's an agency that is always changing and getting better with age, much like wine.

I will say this, when going for your interview wear professional business attire. You will go through a background process that will lead to a security clearance so expect it to take a little bit before hearing anything.

I can't say what the exact tests are but you'll go through a medical, eye and background to name afew. No don't worry about the Polygraph, there's none of that. I wish you all the best.

Hi Marcella, I am presently on a ready pool for the Philly international airport , I am looking or a community in or outside of philly to move to once I get hired. Do yo have any ideas?

Bernie in Columbia, South Carolina said: It goes by senority, some people don't mind working weekends. If that is a problem for someone then the screener position is not a good fit. Not being mean, but that is the job requirements, doesn't matter if your single or married.

Having kids is not a justification for weekends off and that is not fair to the single long working person. As a new TSO it was very disheartening to find that the only path to full time was to accept a split shift first, Can't even bid for full time if you are a part time employee, only if you are a split shift employee first.

Great for management, sucks for you! Elizabeth in Sunderland, Massachusetts. Rich 6th year Tso in Norristown, Pennsylvania said: Hi Rich, just wondering what the specifics are on the background check -- credit , criminal, anything else? Nick in Auburn, Washington.
