Business Outlook
Pros
The people at Discover are what make the company great; laid back, encouraging and help you succeed should you fit the mold. However, management really holds the key as to who should move up and who should not. I do believe only a few managers have the empowerment to help with career trajectory. Others can be complacent. Relationships are extremely important and despite the kindness, politics usually plays the role. In terms of benefits, excellent PTO, beautiful campus and work-life balance given the right role. Compensation is below industry.
Cons
There is little room for upward mobility as there are many lifers. Many opportunities are lateral.
