Vantaggi
- paid training is provided - it is a shift-work job, but you bid for your shifts for six months, so there are no surprises - easy to pick up overtime, paid holidays, healthcare options, and 5% matching in your TSP savings
Svantaggi
- if you start part time, it is probably a minimum of 6 months before full time will ever be available, and even then it depends on the size and demand of your airport - leave is determined according to seniority and order the requests are received, so you'll be behind everyone when you start - as a new employee, you will probably have either the early AM shift (0400-1230) or the late PM shift (1200-2030) with weekdays as your RDOs, which can significantly interfere with your ability to see other people - you work holidays, you work during a government shutdown, you work if the weather is bad and roads are closed
