Fun but stagnant

Pros

Nice people, great atmosphere, on-site nurse, gym on site, cafeteria. Hard working people working there because they love the company but arent being compensated properly.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement, same people doing same job for 20+ years, management will play favorites and ignore warning signs then have to fire someone they just gave a major award to. When positions do become open, applying is a waste of time because they have already decided who to hire. HR department is known for misleading prospective new hires.

Pros

Great benefits for full-timers. There's a fitness center too. The cafe is AWESOME too. Paid training as well. Easy company to get into.

Cons

The thing about Discover is, your team can make or break your time there. You either get a good team of people to work with that make it great OR the opposite where they make you dread going to work. Same with the boss. I was lucky to have a good one but I saw others suffer because they did not.

Pros

The culture is amazing - a true "family feel". The employees genuinely care for the customer, peers, employees and the community. If you want to thrive in an environment and be supported along the way - there isn't a better place to work!

Cons

The company is generally risk adversed, which is good, but can cause too much red tape and sign offs to make changes.
