Pros

Discover is very easy to get settle in when starting. The environment is very friendly, and feels like you are working for a small business.

Cons

Discover does not have many opportunities for growth. The salaries are not very competitive with other banks. The requirements and qualifications of their employees are not very strong so I feel that management is not as educated in the field as should be. There is no competitive nature with in the company, and you can find yourself stuck in limbo with your career. Discover does not have appealing relocation packages.
