Pros

TVA's historical mission changed the Tennessee Valley greatly in a good way, and it was great to work for an agency which had made life better for the valley's residents. I loved the jobs I had (worked 3 different jobs in 3 locations over several years). Compensation, benefits, etc., were very competitive. Training and opportunities to learn were very good.

Cons

Management, the politics, and general bureaucracy of the agency holds it back. The bad publicity with the ash spill did not help. I also feel too many contract employees have been hired over the years, which skews the pride or success factor for any company.
