Reviews about "great benefits"
Return to all Reviews- 3.0Mar 7, 2015Anonymous EmployeeCurrent EmployeeIrvine, CA
Pros
Great benefits and time off
Cons
Old office equipment that breaks down weekly, little no raises, lack of leadership, no innovative ideas, limited promotions within you definitely need to know all the right people. It's more about networking and selling yourself to the managers than your actual skills. Very underpaid employees.

Pros
Discover has great benefits and they span over to a college commitment for those who want to obtain degrees.
Cons
The shifts are only within the early Morning or late night.

Pros
Discover has great benefits and can be very flexible if you are in the right department. They are also great at helping develop you for career advancement.
Cons
Sometimes you can be treated as a number instead of an individual. It can also be hard to promote far from within the company.

Pros
Great benefits and time off (25 days to start!). If you stay long enough and are bright you will get promoted. Many opportunities to move around. Management is usually supportive in movement to other areas of the business. Work with lots of smart professional people.
Cons
Management and people are always moving so nothing is ever constant so as soon as you get used to what your doing it changes completely and you get a new team. Some management is completely disconnected to work. Some positions and teams are more difficult to get out of then others.

Pros
Great benefits and 401k. Paid time off is ok.
Cons
Not treated fairly. No structure. Work environment is stressful and anxiety level is at an all time high. Management does not stand behind their employees in DHE department.

Training is a joke and no one cares about you once you are on the floor

Great benefits for time off and 401k

Pros
Benefits only but you will pay dearly for them.
Cons
You will be moved after 2 months down or your job threatened that you are on final written warning if you fall to the bottom of your department. That is not the worst person just the bottom and it does not matter if you don't get those lucky call ins with big balances or raw dollars. It does not matter if you used those great benefits you work for paid pto. Then after the loyal people that worry month after month about keeping there jobs and have to work overtime just to compete and keep your jobs after 10 to over 30 years of service get told that everyone coming into Discover will get a wage increase also up to a percentage of employees but not all of us. So with that being said people working with Discover 13 years are making less than people just starting the company with no experience.
