Pros

Killer benefits (great insurance, on site cafe, gym and health care, 401k, stock purchasing and 4 weeks PTO), all of which start from day one. The people were great and the team leaders and coaches are very helpful. Pretty difficult to screw up and since Discover never has lay-offs, there's a lot of job security.

Cons

Pay isn't all that great, bonuses were pretty difficult to hit, lots of micro-managing from a quality control aspect. But since there's about 4000 people working in the building, that's a given.

Pros

Able to work from home, good benefits

Cons

Very stressful. Calls would come in nonstop with no time to take breather between calls. Pay is on the low end for what we have to deal with.
