Pros

Once you're an employee, you get a credit card regardless of what your credit looks like!

Cons

It's upsetting that THIS particular call center rolls off of favortisim. You basically have to brwon nose and suck up! Also, they make their customers call in for dumb sypid stuff, which explains why the call volume is 100+ calls PER PERSON, PER DAY!! It's annoying and made my chest hurt everyday. I feel so rejuvinated since leaving that bitter hell hole! You have people that have been with the company 25 years+ who are planning their escape! They only care about numbers and wre NOT family oriented!

Great experience builder. Watch out for corporate backstabbing.

Pros

Great pay, benefits, work life balance, coworkers, and workload. I worked in a particular department that had a lot of backstabbing with project managers taking credit for other people's work. Looking back I see now that I gained so much experience from this place that it was really worth it. It's very easy to find another job with Discover on your resume.

Cons

Office politics, low creativity, low morale. It is almost impossible to get promoted here.
