Morale is a dirty word, and the future is bleak

Anonymous employee

Pros

Nice, well maintained facility. Flexible scheduling for work-life balance. Some usefull skills can be acquired on some jobs. Decent benefits package.

Cons

No morale and no concern by management about it. Work issues relating to co-workers DO NOT get resolved. There is little opportunity for advancement and it hinges mostly on cliques. The pay is below average. There is a clear divide between management and non-exempts (unless the manager is your best friend)

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of nice, hardworking people to work with and plenty of opportunities to move to different positions. You start with plenty of Paid Time Off (25). Overall the job isn't too stressful.

Cons

For the most part, Discover is usually several years behind in the technologies that are used. The hassle of getting new technologies approved, no matter how small they may seem, is quite involved. Employees are rated on a bell curve amongst their team mates. If you are on a hardworking and successful team then not everyone will be properly recognized.
