Pros

Cons
Budget: TVA is operated off a debt ceiling. They do not run like a for profit business. This leaves them with finding ways to reduce expense, vice increase revenue. The easiest way to reduce expense is reduce employees. There have been "voluntary" lay offs every year since I've been here, and "re-org's" every other year, which results in reduced head count. Work load: work load is high. There is the same amount of work, with less people to accomplish it. They are not good at introducing technologies that help with this
