Pros

Good advancement. Good pay raises. Good succession planning (but you don't get the feedback)

Cons

Work/ work balance. TVA will suck all your time and want more. TVA hires too many local people that once they "get into TVA" stop performing. Since we're government; they have a job forever. I was the only engineer in a room of ~ thirty 22-25 yr old engineers that didn't graduate in TN. No training program at all for managers and supervisors. Learn as you go. MANY expectations are not proceduralized. Change management does not exist. Offices were built in the 1800s.
