Pros

I like my co-workers and the company has a strong management team. The company also pays extremely well for the positions offered. There is room for advancement within the department and company.

Cons

There are a multitude of systems which do not interact making finding internal information time consuming. The IT department and access control to gain access to systems needs to be developed further.

Pros

The PTO budget, and other benefits at Discover are top notch. There are some fun activities in the Center. There is never a shortage of food as a team.

Cons

The cafeteria is small, and lacks in selection. For an organization of this size, the onsite amenities are some of the most sparse that I have seen. The parking lots are always closed, and usually during the hot season. The bathrooms are also magically closed way too often. The business department that I am in (Home Equity Loans) is kind of the black eye of Discover. We are consistently spinning our wheels, and can't seem to get it right. We have replaced all the Sr Managers for the ump-teenth time, and they are painting the floor green...pretending that it is any better. I am a little newer to the department, but I have already felt the pain of all the change. I have never felt valued less than my time in DHE.
