Pros

External customer reputation is outstanding

Cons

Team members at all levels micromanage to the detriment of efficiency and quality. Sometimes it feels like I need a hall pass to simply take a lunch or run out for a few minutes (try going *away* on Teams for 15 minutes) (working from home). The lack of trust, autonomy, and empowerment given to professional and exempt employees, who are capable of managing their own schedule and workload, is the driving reason for this review. I have worked in several different roles and companies, and even at the start of my career was given more freedom than I receive here to just get my job done. Unnecessary barriers are put into place to promote favoritism when it should be based on quality of work, competency, and expertise (including certifications). Pay at Discover is very low compared to other companies and similar roles. Consulting paid more in 6 months than this role in FTE.

Pros

Coworkers were the only pro at this job.

Cons

Got told during training to keep our resumes up to date because of the merger. Coaches, managers and even HR don't know proper attendance information and how to provide it. Regardless of how great your Link'd report is, it is all a farce. You're just a number on a screen. Coaches and managers will not help you keep your job in case of health issues. They will misguide you and take no blame for misinformation. HR will throw company policy in your face when they themselves don't even know correct guidance, then terminate you.
