      Great potential but political influence and group think are becoming a problem in management.

      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.

      There are good times and bad times

      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.

      Pros

      Great area to raise kids with a very nice level of compensation for the cost of living.

      Cons

      Poor management and leadership lead to repeating the same mistakes over and over again. The promotion structure emphasizes outside employees over internal. Many of the engineers are jaded due to constant inflation and shrinkage of the workforce.
