Pros

Just for a paycheck. The campus is nice, the gym is nice for 20 bucks a month. The cafeteria is decent. Teh benefits are pretty good. They pay for school, and full benefits. Time off is pretty good from the start. They just started a hoteling program where people work from home 3 days a week and reserve a temporary cube while they are in the office.

Cons

The people are negative, always compaining and pointing fingers. Thats not my job is said too often. The management is sneaky about layoffs, they manage on personal feelings and vendettas. Time management does not exist since everyone has back to back meetings. There is no room for advancement. They claim to promote from within but they are always bringing in outsiders. People are unhappy but in this economy there is nowhere else to go. I was very surprised at how much complaining and backstabbing went on. It was like high school all over again.

Pros

Great benefits and good people. The Company genuinely cares for it's workers and their families. Teleworking, flexible schedules, and generous time off policies make Discover a great place for working mothers.

Cons

The location is the worst as far as traffic goes. Advancement is somewhat limited, as there aren't really many positions open for senior technical staff. For marketing and other departments, there seems to be more upward movement.

Pros

Encourage a work life balance atmosphere. Mostly wonderful people to work with and has a good amount of the younger generation working there. I have found people are generally willing to help you if you're having trouble understanding something. Great communication otherwise amongst peers. Also, They pay 90 percent of your tuition if you go back to school. Only downside is you have to stay with the company for 2 years after you finish, but that's understandable.

Cons

Salary is around average, maybe a little below. Room for growth gets tighter as you move up the food chain. No company is perfect and people will always find something to complain about. This company is as good as any and if anything, its better.
