Great company just not when combined with Capital One

Pros

EVERYONE & i mean everyone you meet has been kind & so willing to help in whatever you need, its a work environment that you feel heard and isn’t like the usual corporate jobs.

Cons

The bad thing is that now that discover was bought out by Capital One it is starting to change a lot! The changes some are good but most are worst than what were with just Discover. It just starting to not feel the same, & I've only been here for 1 year & a few months I can’t imagine how it feels for employees who have been there longer than I have.

Pros

You can get training for 3 months as they lie to you essentially and it's pretty chill for that time while you get paid.

Cons

Training is a lie. They don't tell you the truth because if they did they'd you'd be looking for another job. They used to have much better call of policy . Now gary tee with the one they have now 95% of people will be fired within a year. Maybe on purpose . They require perfection but pay for mediocraty . Work life balance is now terrible. YOU ONLY GET ONE WEEKEND A MONTH. NO THEY WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SWITCH YOUR SCHEDULE DONT ASK. TERRIBLE PTO ,TERRIBLE CALL OFF ALLOWANCE,TERRIBLE MANAGEMMT COMMUNICATION. IF YOU NEED A JOB WORKONG FROM HOME GET THIS ONE FOR 6 MONTHS FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND LEAVE.USE ALL YOUR PTO BEFORE YOU DO!!
