Discover reviews

It's really sad to see the current direction of the company since the new CEO, Roger, took over - increased bureaucracy, more micro-management, terrible personnel decisions at the executive level, and missed goals across the company (translating to missed corporate earnings). It was hard to leave, but it started becoming increasingly clear that it wasn't the same company I joined over a decade ago. The executive leadership ranks have been gutted over the last several years with many high profile defections and retirements, and their replacements are just not at the same level. More damning is the complete lack of a coherent long term growth strategy. Over the last few months, I've had at least one or two Discover employees a week reach out looking for help to find a new job. Most of these folks are high performing mid and executive level employees who are seeing the writing on the wall and are running for the exits.

They say over and over again that they care about their employees.... Ill let you decide that! My father passed unexpectedly while I was one month into training. I went into work the next business day to speak with my manager on what my options were because I had to plan my fathers funeral. My manager was very short, rushed me because he was busy and said "call HR and provide proof of his death." Unfortunately, I couldn't take the rest of the day off. I contacted HR as instructed and found out I had no options, was told "you can quit and then reapply once your situation is handled when the position is available again." I had to make the decision of going to work or my father’s viewing. I sent my resignation email stating what HR said along with the requested obituary, like I was lying about his death. I doubt they even looked at it. Honestly, I am very traumatized by this.
