Terrible Place to Work

Account manager

Pros

Benefits, work from home availability

Cons

Discover doesn’t pay as much as other companies I’ve looked into recently. They have also forced upon me a job role I absolutely hate with little room to move elsewhere. I moved to a specific department and it is basically being dissolved and I’m forced to take a terrible call type. Discover makes decisions without looking at how it will affect its employees. Over the seven years I’ve worked here, I see them make decisions behind our backs, with little communication, expecting us to pivot with major changes with only a few days notice, despite it being obvious changes were considered well in advance.

Pros

Work with great, dedicated and motivated people.

Cons

CEO, CFO, Board, etc. lack the leadership to not give into the winds of change and bow to external social pressure which has added no value to company but adds complexity. We say we have culture and values but those change as the wind blows. They also do not seem to have a vision on how to market Discover as a Bank instead of a credit card company. Lost of blockers when trying to simplify and coordinate between businesses, not run like a bank but 4 separate companies.
