Pros

Pay and benefits are great, especially for the area.

Cons

HR management will lie to you, then act as if they didn't - always verify what they tell you!When hired, you will have only what you bring from another company - there is no career advancement, no skill development, no leadership, no role clarity, no processes, but everything is a priority. Communications is a churn and burn organization, with reorganizations every 3-5 years. Their last reorg scheme "changed" job descriptions to make current employees reapply for jobs, with no consideration of experience or knowledge. Regardless of qualifications, 15% of employees (actually more when considering those who left on their own) were laid off. by changing job descriptions, employees were "laid off" without the company losing the jobs because they had "changed." HR management then gave 60 day immediate non-work notice instead of the promised 6 months temporary duty to provide time to find another internal job before the IRIF. This is how HR "reskills" its own organization. Situational ethics are everywhere. The workers who manage up get promoted and those who do the work are rewarded with more and more work. Beware and be warned if you decide to take your chances at TVA, especially in the Human Resources and Communications organization!
