Pros

The people are absolutely great and care about each other and their work. Leadership keeps trying to drive improvement and focus on the development of their people.

Cons

It is a government organization. With that said, change does not happen as quickly as leadership would like. There are approvals that must be granted and that process can be slow.

Pros

TVA is extremely diverse in mission and has many talented professionals who are dedicated to doing the right thing. Opportunities to move around the organization are available for high performers who want to learn the business. And work on interesting problems. The salaries are compatible and there are many chances to build strong relationships with colleagues that extend beyond the normal workday. TVA is also active in the communities it serves; there are many chances to volunteer and make a difference for residents of the Valley.

Cons

It is difficult to remove bad apples; easier at the executive level than at the worker level. The variety of operations performed and managed creates silos that are sometimes challenging, but not impossible, to work across. Leadership (vice management) is sometimes difficult to see, but is improving across the company.
