Pros

Good incentive, good benefits, great coworkers when they are not frustrated about not being able to tell the truth about what they see. It's a good company with some issues but it can be fixed if the company actually realizes the issue.

Cons

The pay is low for what you do, doesn't matter how many years you've been there (10-15 loyal years) someone hired 6 months ago can make more than you because the cost of living has raised, but at the same time you don't get the cost of living raise because you "already make enough" yet they are STARTING someone else (same level as you) above you. You are also TEACHING these people how to do their jobs but they still make more than you. No matter how many years/how well you know your job it's not as important has having a degree when it comes to getting promoted. Your coaches and team leaders come to you (someone who is more experienced than them) for help troubleshooting a problem even though you are only a "rep" who answers calls. It's unfortunate to know that experienced individuals are getting passed up for leadership positions because they don't play the politics game. The company wants to reach a certain profitability, yet you have imbeciles leading their "peers" to greatness. Reps.. Knowing more than coaches and some team leaders but they don't have the "exposure" to be treated as equals. Things would happen in a more fluid way if everyone were on the same page.

Pros

They do not enforce the dress code which is nice because they don't pay you enough to actually wear nice clothes

Cons

I found that a vast majority of the people that work there, ESPECIALLY management, are fake and will throw you under the bus to make themselves look good. A very deceptive company that rewards conformity and frowns on individual opinions. You couldn't pay me enough to work at that place again!

Pros

Discover provides housing in a top-notch extended stay hotel for the entire summer, with some meals provided. The work environment is warm and welcoming throughout the entire campus. You are provided a mentor that is there to help and talk to you whenever you need it. You will not feel lost at any point, because the people you work with will help you with anything that you need. The campus also has a huge food court, several small shops with treats/food/drinks. It also has a fitness center that is very convenient. The people are very easy to talk to and get along with. The recruiting supervisor is absolutely the best. She makes the experience top-notch and extremely enjoyable with intern events planned all throughout the summer. Being able to hang out with other interns also makes its a great summer. You will make many new friends and have experiences with them that you will never forget. Truthfully an amazing summer for an intern.

Cons

Upper management is fairly distant from employees and they have a hard time acting on feedback and suggestions given to them by employees.
