Pros

Good benefits - medical, dental, 401K, etc

Cons

DMS and agile are nuts. No one is on time for meetings. No one reads their emails, won't help others. Not allowed to work on items until they are prioritized. Would rather have business technology resources sitting and doing nothing. So much chaos. Work at home was a great offer but now random people decide a meeting has to be in person - so can't even work at home much anymore.

Pros

Discover provides great rates on health insurance and a very gracious paid-time-off allowance. Opportunities for philanthropic service are frequently available. These benefits help compensate for the slightly lower wage Discover Financial Services pays employees compared to competitors in the industry.

Cons

Ideas and innovations suggested by base employees are not considered. There are major disconnects between each level of management which are evidenced by the lack of understanding from upper management about what is happening on front-line operations. Some personnel supervisors often use intimidation during private meetings with their subordinates for personal gain. Human Resources is more focused on mitigating company liability than being an advocate for the parties involved in discovering the truth. The workforce has been segregated into interoffice clubs based on race, gender, and sexual orientation. A person who desires to feel like a valued and respected asset within the company they work for would not find that level of teamwork and fulfillment at Discover Financial Services.
