Pros

Relaxed environment, opportunity to grow if you put in effort. Good with PTO, salary is lower than industry standard but I still think is a very good salary (coming from a recent college grad). One of this biggest things is there are a lot of good people at this company. I don't have anything bad to say about any coworkers I have interacted with.

Cons

Not the best environment for those wanting to push themselves early on in their career.

Pros

pretty much everything is a pro working at Discover. The pay scales are generous, as an exempt employee you get a cash bonus and a bonus deposited in your 401k. I have great supervisors, I work 4x10's, they are extremely flexible with small schedule adjustments.

Cons

The big con is lack of mobility between teams if you dont have a BS. Another con specifically for me is not enough personnel on my shift. There are only two of us covering seven days with one overlap day, makes it hard to take a comp day for working a holiday.
