Pros

Healthcare benefits and 401k match I was a loyal Discover Card company fan until this mandatory in work announcement, now I won’t recommend.

Cons

Rigid in-office expectations post-pandemic, despite record-breaking successful years of mostly-remote workforce (mandatory 3 days/week onsite, though workforce was promised flexibility) Limits on employee mobility if hired and working outside 50-mile radius of Chicago or Houston offices Poor development of promoted managers, leading to ineffective management style and bad employee development Old white guy corporate mentality Out of touch with progressive workplace models No child care, no free perks like food, bad public transit options, basically lost touch with workers needs
