Pros

- Benefits - PTO but sick days are included and less than normal holidays

Cons

- Bad and old style of management. Upper management is treated as nobility and only dictate around without much respect to people beneath them. Most of them have limited managerial and technical capability, and live in their own world. Lots of micromanagement and giving not much freedom and space to people under. - Reorg nonstop and losing a lot of people. All time high attrition and no realistic measure against it. - DEI just lip service. Upper management does as they please without much diversity or inclusion. - Red tape everywhere. - Bottom of the barrel compensation with very low bonus program. Merit increases less than half the inflation rate while making record profits and giving practically 0 merit increase last year. - No in place promotions. Need to change teams to get promoted. - Very hard to grow unless getting along with the "right people"

Pros

Work at home. Pay isn't the industry worst but close.

Cons

This place, especially Credit Operations, is run by textbook narcissistics that are determined to be wrong at every corner. The company recently opened a diversity and inclusion office and tapped a white, straight, cisgendered, christian male to run it, by the way.

Pros

Benefits are plentiful, pay isn't bad for entry level job. Generally speaking, your coworkers are nice.

Cons

I can only speak on what I've experienced in the Chargeback department, along with Charge Verification Group Charge Verification Group is basically back to back calls. I haven't been in that specific department for a few years but can confirm that call volume is still an issue with them. General Cons/Grievances - Discover cheaps out on year to year raises, doesn't keep up with inflation in most cases. - I received 2 leaderboard awards (basically employee of month) within year span and got a 50 cent raise. - No meaningful incentives. - Discover squeezes every bit of you, will operate on skeleton staff as much as possible. - Pretend to care about employees mental health but actions suggest they will do whatever they have to maximize profit. - Benefits are awesome but there will likely come a point where you hate your job so much that the benefits don't matter. At the end of the day, the company knows it's frontline agents are expendable. You may not see it at first, but eventually the cloak will come off and you'll see it for what it really is. It's a decent job if you're desperate for money but for the sake of your well-being, don't try to make this a long-term stop.
