      Energetic and promising company pays for performance--for a few

      Pros

      Discover has one of the most consistently professional and competent workforces I've seen among several employers. The work is interesting and varied. The facilities are pleasant and conducive to engagement and collaboration. Management and accountability ranges from excellent in many areas to inexplicably bad in a few others.

      Cons

      Salary growth is almost nonexistent for most nonmanagement employees. At the same time, executives are vastly overpaid-- up to $20 million for the CEO. (In Chicago, only Abbott Labs has a CEO salary to match Discover's!). New hires have much to gain in experience, just be aware that you will likely not see much salary growth regardless of performance.

      Discover is a great place for working parents to work.

      Pros

      Great benefits and good people. The Company genuinely cares for it's workers and their families. Teleworking, flexible schedules, and generous time off policies make Discover a great place for working mothers.

      Cons

      The location is the worst as far as traffic goes. Advancement is somewhat limited, as there aren't really many positions open for senior technical staff. For marketing and other departments, there seems to be more upward movement.
