Pros

PTO & benefits are average for the industry. Onsite fitness facility is very nice. Subsidized prices on healthy items in the cafeteria.

Cons

While overall Discover Financial Services is a wonderful company, the home equity division became an extremely stressful environment due to unrealistic (if not impossible to achieve) metrics, constant negative feedback from managers, and extreme micromanagement. These factors, along with tedious and contradictory lending policies along with difficulty being granted time off made for a very disappointing experience. What was once an enjoyable job quickly became a source of significant stress. There is also no room for growth or advancement within the division.
