Pros

It is a good company with good benefits and a strong portfolio

Cons

Discover is a reactive company and doesn't spend time being proactive. Because of this employees are always running around fixing problems instead of preventing them. The new employees are not interested in learning from employees that have been there for years. I have seen a shift from a team environment to individuals willing to bull doze over people to climb the ladder. Discover talks a lot of work/life balance but it isn't there in practice. After years of hard work, the opportunities of advancement begin to evaporate.

Pros

Competitive salary and bonuses; excellent benefits; newer facility.

Cons

Cut throat, passive-aggressive culture. 25 days PTO that you can rarely use. Senior leadership (Director and above) are not held accountable for bad behavior. LOTS of favoritism. People with poor work ethic will get promoted if they know the right person.
