Pros

You get to work from home. Benefits like other big companies the usual.

Cons

At first they will tell you the normal jobs you know receiving calls helping customers. Then they will give you jobs offers at other position and they don't tell you the whole thing until you are clearly applied for what's going to be due. It's they call it senior specialist. Which this is kind of a deceiving because for customers seeing a specialist they think it's a manager position where all the other agents things that's you are one agent that handle everything. So you will get transfer from all over the apartments like fraud, security verification, dispute, delinquent account, products, web support, supervise a call, you can name it you get this transfer calls from all over the place. Now when we first sign up for it on the descriptions that they indicate it's just say you will work with two additional credit cards. Nothing mentioning that you will be at the dumpster of the company. When We complain about or let them know about it they're saying that they'll fix it. But none has been done. New agent transfer calls and let let us know that oh yeah they were told that they need to transfer any call that they don't feel comfortable or understand to you. Which they are trained to do that to just dumped and emotionally damaged you while you're working. If this is what they're telling you to quit but they don't want to fire you right then and there. Then they're making a hell of a good job doing it. So I would say discover would be the worst company to work with if you're trying to work for a good company.

Pros

Healthcare benefits and 401k match I was a loyal Discover Card company fan until this mandatory in work announcement, now I won’t recommend.

Cons

Rigid in-office expectations post-pandemic, despite record-breaking successful years of mostly-remote workforce (mandatory 3 days/week onsite, though workforce was promised flexibility) Limits on employee mobility if hired and working outside 50-mile radius of Chicago or Houston offices Poor development of promoted managers, leading to ineffective management style and bad employee development Old white guy corporate mentality Out of touch with progressive workplace models No child care, no free perks like food, bad public transit options, basically lost touch with workers needs

Pros

Free parking Great 401K match

Cons

The company has revoked flexible work arrangements for Chicago based employees. Promotions have been stopped. Instead promotions are listed as new openings that an employee must post for. So much for rewarding outstanding work. Why work for a company whose vacation policy, remote work policy, pay scale, promotion system, and bonus incentives are standard or sub-par to other area companies? There are over 12 opening a in my department that continue to go unfilled. More with less is the mantra here.if you’d like to work more hours for less pay without any chance of being recognized and promoted for your work, this is the spot for you
