Discover reviews

Pay is good, just lower than other banks Management OVERALL is good, but not every manager is good. Advancing in the same role is difficult. Many co-workers and managers have left Discover because they are completing next-level activities for a couple years without a promotion. Annual raises don't keep up with other banks salaries.

Challenging aspects include a management culture that tends to respond to feedback with retaliation, displaying an unwillingness and inability to accept constructive criticism. There's a notable absence of a friendly demeanor, and an excessive emphasis on metrics creates a stressful work environment. Even for top performers, achieving quality standards seems insurmountable. Insufficient paid time off and a lack of HR intervention compound the difficulties. Additionally, the absence of opportunities to transfer to different areas and an inadequate compensation package contribute to the drawbacks.
