Pros

Flexible, great benefits, fair pay and compensation, easy to be hired, laid back atmosphere, diverse

Cons

New Albany call center is just that. You mainly have a choice of customer service, where you will have to cross sell protection products, or collections. Rarely is a position available in better-rated phone based departments like security or national recovery and mostly go to desperate employees (or newly hired wife of HR recruiter). Dress code is pretty laid back and varies by department. Customer service may dress down Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and weekends with Wednesday and Thursday only as reward. New hires may be shocked to see most current employees don't look like they tried very hard when dressing for work that morning. Last but not least, if you have prior call center experience you will be famiilar with AHT, AUX, FCR, etc. but Discover is king for holding you to every possible metric a report can be generated for. In fact, I can't be sure there is not a review being done on how many breaths you take during the workday.

Pros

if you are starting out, then it would probably be good, but not for growth long term

Cons

The Discover personal loans department is new in the last couple of years, and it seems like measurements are dependent on high/low probability of luck. An UW needs to offer loans to a number of people, and try to finalize the loan to get credit for their work. Seems like there is a lot of pressure to offer loans to persons with high to very high debt to income ratios, or other characteristics that contribute to a greater likelihood for defaulting on a loan. Therefore, it can be very hard to feel good about the work you are doing.
