Don't become disabled!

Pros

Shift work, interesting, and engaging. Coworkers were a pleasure to work with. Taking incoming calls and making outgoing calls.

Cons

On the phone for the full shift while trying to investigate open cases. Constant interruption. Supervisors unhelpful. The most negative part about working for Discover was when I suddenly became permanently disabled and was out on disability. Nearing the last two weeks of the waiting period for my Longterm Disability Insurance to kick in and start paying me. Their HR department telephoned and harassed my doctor daily, trying to get him to send me back to work. He asked me if I wanted to try, and I agreed. The day I went back into work, they fired me one hour later. Which made me lose my disability insurance benefit entirely. This caused an extensive and longterm hardship for me. They had no regaurd or professional ethics in how they treated me. Just be aware.

Pros

Not many now days, pay was under market, raises during the 2022 did not even get close to cover inflation. I was here for over 20 years and because of favoritism and corruption I had no option but to leave to a new company, one that values their employees. You will see many videos and ads about how great the company is and how they will help you with your career, but don't be fooled. They will not look out for you, they will tell you they will mentor you but they wont. You will be a worker in a dead end job. The great culture that once was is gone, dont get me wrong this company was not perfect but it's 100 times worst now. Most of upper management left or was forced out, the new management sometime may be okay but other times they are rude, self serving narcissists. I seen people come in as interns and had a great time as soon as they accepted the position their nightmare would start. It is with great sadness I write this review because the company did put food on my table and kept a roof over my head. But I want people to stay clear of this company if they can, specially that the options now days are all around us!

Cons

Management focused on their own careers, agile applied to everything even when it does not work. Its Discover version of agile DMS. The job was stressful and it was impacting my health! In today's market they under pay If you take on tuition reimbursement and they fire you or lay you off you will be required to pay back the money. Customer focused, this would not be a bad thing but they are customer focused with complete disregard for employees.

Pros

Education assistance PTO benefits 40 hours a week Work from home (but everyone is now)

Cons

You will work weekends. I do not get paid nearly enough for the amount of work I do. I will say that taking advantage of the GUILD program they have for education is great, but this company is subpar when it comes to paying appropriately. When you have consistent and excellent stats from month to month all year they will simply tell you that you're only worth a 3% increase in pay. Meanwhile that is what everyone gets regardless of whether they're an asset or a burden. This company does not care about it's employees career. Month ends are all stats. This removes the human aspect of our job completely. You are just another number. There are BETTER companies to work for than this one.
