Pros

Great co-workers Free swag Semi-flexible working schedules Great benefits Very inclusive company culture

Cons

Call volumes are high and not enough support staff to make the calls not overwhelming. You’re treated like a number and not a person and all they only care about your performance and not why you may be performing badly They care more about their cardholders than their employees and if you get a bad survey and it is regarding a company policy not how you handled the call personally, they will not remove it because we are apparently responsible for how the cardholder perceives the situation and their feelings on it. Hard to move up into a non phone agent roll and no feedback is provided when asked why you were not given a promotion or there is none available other than “be in the right place at the right time” They are constantly making changes but most of the changes make jobs harder and cause more issues for phone agents but won’t do anything about it.

Pros

Salary was fantastic compared to industry comparables

Cons

The position was not what I discussed during the interview process. I was led to believe the position would be hands on and it turned into a governance position. Culture was challenging to adapt to with knowledge gatekeeping and overlapping responsibilities that left people feel their job was at risk. In addition, long term commitment expressed to remote working during interviews was eliminated within months of starting. Lastly, principal devs were not able to solve code issues that were dumped on architects (many with no coding experience working as architects for years at Discover) with no experience in the system and they were somehow expected to fix the problem for developers that were in the system in question everyday. This makes little or no sense.
