Pros

A job and work from home

Cons

Everything currently. Post merger things have gotten messy quickly. The communication has been horrible (and was prior to the merger for years) and no one knows what’s going on. Home loans was just informed of some big news out of the blue, can’t discuss that publicly because it isn’t public yet but nobody has any idea what’s happening. Wages have always been very low compared to the work you do here. Most leadership just go for the role to be off the phones, they could care less outside of that and it’s obvious for a lot of them. Just avoid jobs at Discover. Apply directly to capital one if you want to have a little more security.

Pros

Miss some of my coworkers

Cons

Bad management and micromanagement and constant coachings that only outline the negative not anything positive. My former coach was on my LinkedIn page reviewing it after I left the company which I find intrusive. I left on my own so therefore Discover or my coach or TL should be on my LinkedIn page. This was the worst company experience I have had in more than 30 years. Discover always coming up with new policies that have corrective actions or occurrences with them and not sharing through email that a new policy was in place and still get an occurrence when wasn’t made aware of the policy change. Discover is a very dirty underhanded company and wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy.
