Pros

The paid time off bank is great.

Cons

The new credit card regulations will negatively affect Discover and it will be hard to maintain any modicum of profitability.

Pros

Discover has one of the most consistently professional and competent workforces I've seen among several employers. The work is interesting and varied. The facilities are pleasant and conducive to engagement and collaboration. Management and accountability ranges from excellent in many areas to inexplicably bad in a few others.

Cons

Salary growth is almost nonexistent for most nonmanagement employees. At the same time, executives are vastly overpaid-- up to $20 million for the CEO. (In Chicago, only Abbott Labs has a CEO salary to match Discover's!). New hires have much to gain in experience, just be aware that you will likely not see much salary growth regardless of performance.
