Questionable Leadership

Pros

You work with some great co-workers and have a good salary.

Cons

Unethical behavior from leaders. They struggle to adhere to rules and threaten with retaliation if you question their actions or don't support them openly. Their decisions often aren't transparent and they refuse to explain actions.

Pros

OK benefits and pay. Overtime

Cons

Terrible management and leadership. This place definitely operates on the “who sucks up the best program”. TVA is an embarrassment to the energy community and the customers they serve. They have slashed pay, 401k contributions, retirement no longer exists, and massive layoffs. Did I mention this slashing of the work force and benefits happened at a time when the CEO gives himself a huge raise and bonus?? BILLIONS of tax payer dollars wasted. Disgusting

Pros

Good benefits Nice location near Market Square Reasonable workload Can bring my kids in on occasion

Cons

Struggles with transparency to employees Very high management turnover rate Doesn't always walk the walk Leadership appears entitled - once privately questioned a manager's behavior toward a fellow employee they disliked. Overheard the manager make false statements about the employee and treat them differently. The response back was "this happens everywhere" and to "stop being naive".
