Pros

The best thing about TVA is you accrue lots of time off. Your annual leave is also separated from your sick leave. Depending on your time of service you can get anywhere from 2.5 to 5 weeks annual leave a year with another 2.5 weeks of sick leave and 10 holidays. The pay and benefits are generally better than average.

Cons

The worst thing about TVA is that it is a 24/7/365 power company. If you work at a power facility you will have a tether and there are times you will be working 60-70 hr weeks for months on end. TVA is also downsizing and a lot of jobs/benefits are on the chopping block. TVA tends to hire management from outside TVA.
