Discover is NOT a good place to work

Account manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits-(Although they are not much better than other large companies) PTO Nice Building Occurrence Policy is Very Lenient--you can basically call off work 5 times before corrective action They Allow Make up time to avoid having an occurrence if you call off

Cons

Uneducated Team Leaders and Management "Lifers" that don't know how to do their jobs Cafe has extremely high prices Team Leaders show favortism Have to work almost every Saturday (3 Saturdays out of 4) but HR won't tell you this until you're already hired and working..they say 1 Saturday per month during the interview process Do not pay time and half for Sunday shifts Team Leaders/Coaches and Managers are constantly fired without explanation Account Managers have high turnover as well--because of the way they are treated DISCOVER OUTSOURCES HUMAN RESOUCE FUNCTIONS AND BENEFIT CUSTOMER SERVICE TO INDIA!!!! Fitness Center is a Joke, and it's not free!! It's currently $20 approx per month and it's closed on weekends

Pros

Great fitness center. Building is very pretty. There are some decent people that work there. Smart and know what they are doing....unfortunately, most of those people are overlooked. It used to be a great place to work. Everyone worked for a common goal...not anymore.

Cons

The network is mismanaged, card has their act together. Repeat mistakes, and deplorable upper management.

Pros

DC pays good wages unless you are at a entry level position relative to other companies. Great benefits. Great experience in the financial field.

Cons

As mentioned in headline, management treats entry level positions as mere peasants. Your opinion does not matter. Management has a few morons.
