Fun games with prizes to keep you excited. Lot's of dress down days.

Cons

Pay is low and favortism is at an all time high. Performance does not guarantee positive outcome.

Pros

Excellent benefits, flexible schedule, always something fun going on. Leadership makes a very concerted effort to relate to and understand their employees.

Cons

Old-school corporate rules regarding employee movement. They want you to climb the ladder and not skip any rungs. Also low on the pay-scale.

Pros

Before coming to work for Discover, I never saw (in person, at least) the C-level executives who led the companies I worked for. At Discover, the CEO, COO and other execs eat lunch elbow-to-elbow with everyone else. Beyond the company's congenial and accessible senior management, Discover actively supports and promotes corporate values such as volunteerism and respect (versus simply paying lip service to them), something I've personally witnessed via company-sponsored support of Chicago Cares, the Boys and Girls Club of Lake County, and other volunteering activities. I also appreciate the world-class campus I work at in Riverwoods, IL, with its on-site fitness center, gourmet cafeteria, basketball and vollyball courts, dry cleaning services and more.

Cons

Commuting to Riverwoods can sometimes be a challenge, particularly in winter, though such challenges are mitigated by management support of flexible work arrangements. As with any competitive company, deadlines sometimes require extra hours/effort, but those times simply make the generous paid-time-off (PTO) that much more enjoyable.
