Pros

Well, you can say you have a job which is a little better than saying I am unemployed. They do have good facilities and there is a strict corporate environment. You do have some security if you are not a salaried employee and you will have some OK insurance if you are a full or flex time employee.

Cons

I worked for Discover for over 8 years. When I first started it was a great place to work. You were proud to say I work at Discover, however, over the last three years the corporate culture deteriorated. Management was not as flexible with employees and less respectful. Now they have a hard time hiring employees at nearly any level.

Pros

Benefits are great, fairly casual environment, and some genuinely good people. 25 PTO days off is a great benefit and their health care offerings are some of the best that I have seen. The work environment is business casual, with some jeans days on Fridays, and there is an opportunity in the summer to work 4 nine hour days and take a half day on Friday.

Cons

Career advancement is almost non-existent. All management and above positions are hired from outside Discover so that leaves insiders out in the cold. If you are a younger employee looking to gain experience there is a lot of opportunity, but to be able to move up the ladder you will most likely have to go elsewhere.
