      Pros

      TVA offers a flexible workforce that is committed to excellence. The best advice I can give someone new to the Company is to learn their craft well and do their best.

      Cons

      The aging workforce is a con only to the Agency. (On the other hand, it shows that there are a number of happy employees who have been with TVA a long time.)

      Hard to get management to make a decision on anything.

      Pros

      TVA's historical mission changed the Tennessee Valley greatly in a good way, and it was great to work for an agency which had made life better for the valley's residents. I loved the jobs I had (worked 3 different jobs in 3 locations over several years). Compensation, benefits, etc., were very competitive. Training and opportunities to learn were very good.

      Cons

      Management, the politics, and general bureaucracy of the agency holds it back. The bad publicity with the ash spill did not help. I also feel too many contract employees have been hired over the years, which skews the pride or success factor for any company.
