Pros

Internal Mobility, Great Benefits, Great Coworkers, Long Tenured Staff

Cons

Due to the long tenure of a lot of staff, Discover does tend to lack some non-Discover field experience in some areas.

Pros

Great benefits from day 1. Pay was very competitive. You were allowed to basically work as much overtime as you wanted, they were always sending emails that they needed people to work overtime. You gain allot of customer service experience at this job, and it looks good on your resume. They give you 20 days PTO, as soon as you're out of training. Requesting this time is very easy as well. They allow you to 'edoc' (based off of business need).... Basically this allows you to leave early and not have it counted against you.

Cons

Extremely high call volume. I was barely able to take a breath in between calls. (100-150+ calls a day). You are always being listened too, which can get annoying at times. They do 'calibrations' which gives you time off the phone periodically throughout the day, or several times a week. You have to get used to having anywhere from 15-30 people listen to one of your recorded calls, and critique it. Most of the team leaders really have no idea what their doing... When you go to them from assistance, you're always told "I'll have to get clarification on that", meanwhile the Card Member is on hold, (which you're only allowed to place them on hold for 2mins TOPS.) There is room for promotion here though, you just have to make sure you're always meeting in your stats... Which at times can be impossible. It almost felt at times you were chained to a phone for 8 hours, and anytime spent off the phone during those hours have to be written down and then your team leader will determine if what you have wrote down is excusable or not? Overall decent place to work, just didn't have it in me to stay very long.

Pros

Stable company, good benefits. Some good people in between the dead wood. Career growth if in right place.

Cons

Rotating clientele, inexperienced people making decisions at several levels. Politics occur with longer stay. Constrictive office and technology where it doesn't apply. Very inconsistent management rules and protocol.
