Pros

Nice Gym, Decent Benefits, good location to public transportation

Cons

DFS version of Diversity = Majority of workers are Temporary Chinese, Indian, Eastern European! Minority of Workers are Anglo-American, African- American, Asian-American, Hispanic American, Arab American. I am all for diversity but this form of diversity breeds a culture of identured servitude. The commnication barriers create major problems as not only is it hard to understand some of the dialects, it is very hard for the Temp workers to understand "normal" english and this creates a lot of time wasted for everyone. This temp - cheap worker strategy ends up being "penny wise-pound foolish strategy, Discover has made a big comeback but they should remeber who there customers are and hire accordingly.
