Pros

Good job when you're fresh out of college or for a first introduction job. People a nice to work with, onsite gym, expansion (somewhat). Pay is not too bad. Interest groups with a strong focus on LGBT community and that's it. Habitat for Humanity opportunities, health and benefits is somewhat beefy.

Cons

The culture is terrible, too much politics get in the way of a person wanting to advance/ move to a different department. Some supervisors are down right bullies and prey on those who seem shy, stand offish, quiet, or those who want to get their work done. Supervisors come in when they want to will ignore team chat to get coffee or do what they want to. If you actually have questions or notice something's wrong with policy and procedures and you bring it to the supervisor or higher ups attention , you're seen as being out of line and you immediately black balled and muted which travels to every other department while at Disocver. If you have an interview for a different position and don't get the job, your rejection email comes to you months later, if you ask what may have kept you from getting the job you'll never get a response. Information that is vital to your job role is slowly communicated. Supervisors will threaten employees with corrective action for no reason. Discover strives on doing the right thing, but they do the opposite. Leadership seems to be one color across the board and gender. LGBT community gets a lot of focus but other interest groups don't, faith based interest groups were shut down completely. Open door policy for some Department Managers are basically a set up and waste of time, they say that what we talk about is between you and I, but the next day your business is out in the open where all the supervisors know who said what. When Head quarters comes to the facility, DM's and supervisors want the employees to put on an act as if everything is okay so that they give off the impression that they have everything under control when they really don't. Human resources is a clique and they walk around with impression that they're better than tlall the other employees. All they care about is winning the J D Power award, but turns a dead ear on the culture and job practices that go on within the company. I can't fathom why I'm still working for this company.

Pros

PTO days, work from home

Cons

Seemingly collaborative but backstabbing and toxic leadership team. One Director ‘clocks out’ by 4 pm and has for years. A sciolist with no work ethic, leadership skills, and talks badly about people regardless if they are on his team. Toxic environment still exists regardless of the fact layoffs have occurred over the past 5 months.
