Pros

Career Opportunities. 5 Weeks vacation!! Very friendly, collaborative environment. Yes there are occasional jerks, but for the most part people are helpful, friendly and nice to each other. I mostly encountered sharp people that work hard.

Cons

You will always be behind your competitors- Amex, Citi, Via, Mastercard are way ahead in terms of their networks and products.

Good benefits with no career opportunitites

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.
