Business Outlook
Pros
Benefits are great, fairly casual environment, and some genuinely good people. 25 PTO days off is a great benefit and their health care offerings are some of the best that I have seen. The work environment is business casual, with some jeans days on Fridays, and there is an opportunity in the summer to work 4 nine hour days and take a half day on Friday.
Cons
Career advancement is almost non-existent. All management and above positions are hired from outside Discover so that leaves insiders out in the cold. If you are a younger employee looking to gain experience there is a lot of opportunity, but to be able to move up the ladder you will most likely have to go elsewhere.
