Pros

Rich history of service to Tennessee Valley residents. Not for profit. Opportunity to be a true leader in the world as once demonstrated.

Cons

Major leadership issues in recent history still recovering from. Kingston ash spill, Watts Bar 2, failed OEI reorg resulting in O&M excess. TVA Board is turning into a political machine. Unproven CEO integrity.

Pros

I was compensated well over my four years at TVA. The work environment was good and provided me an opportunity to grow professionally. There was always the chance to do something that mattered. For the most part, the people I interacted with on a daily basis were extremely high class and a great joy to be around.

Cons

Many companies talk about valuing people and how people are their greatest asset. It is my opinion that this value was poorly implemented during a recent re-organization that led to my departure from the company. I know these kinds of changes are difficult and are, to some degree, just business, but there is still a way to handle things that values people for their contributions. I have never in my life felt more devalued personally and professionally, so that is definitely one con I have for TVA.
