Pros

The benefits were great. 4 weeks paid vacation, healthcare plan, Pet insurance.

Cons

The company doesn’t care about you. You’re just another number. It doesn’t matter how much effort you put in, you’ll just get punished for one small mistake. PTO does seem great but is eaten quickly as sick days count into it. No one is selfless so needing off a bit earlier on a Friday so you don’t have to waste PTO, doesn’t exist. You’ll have to use it. The managers are all about favoritism but god forbid you even mention that word. If you report something to HR, you’re the one who will be fired, not the person you report. I saw this happen on many occasions. Managers think it’s okay to threaten you on multiple occasions. You will feel drained. No one supports you. Make a better decision and work for any company but this one.

Culture is changing

Pros

Great people, some who have been there a long time, and have great subject matter expertise.

Cons

The new CEO appears to be changing the culture. Leadership is changing and leadership styles are changing. The 2 day work from home option appears to be going away. I don't think the family oriented, work-life balance of the past will continue. A metrics driven, McKinsey suggested culture appears to be on the horizon.

Pros

Work from home, flexible schedule, good pay. When you first start the trainers are super great at their job in making sure you understand the material. After 30 days I received $500 to help set up my home office. You get reimbursed for internet each month. They send out freebies (t-shirts, mugs, gift baskets).

Cons

Non-Stop calls, minimal breaks. Misleading, lack of support. I initially loved the company and loved my job but that quickly changed when I started experiencing technically problems with the equipment they provided. I kept getting told by the help desk that it was an issue with my internet but I had a technician come to my home and check my connection and that was absolutely no issues going on. The issue continued until I was out of PTO ( In march!!!) and was told the only solution for me to continue working would be for me to commute to the Center which was 150 miles ONE WAY away from me. I was told there would be no compensation for that commute because working from home is "a perk of working at Discover". I was also promised to promote up to Coach after completing my training but training seemed to never end. When I interviewed for the job I was told training lasted 5 weeks but 6 months later I was still "training" and not able to promote to another area even though my coach and Team Lead agreed I would be a great fit for the role.
