Congrats to Corporate Coalition member Discover Financial Services on announcing plans to meet the goal of bringing 1,000 jobs to its call center in Chatham by the end of the year!

“When we opened our center in this vibrant Black community on Chicago’s South Side, we set out to help people achieve brighter financial futures by providing jobs and having direct and long-term involvement with the city,” Dan Capozzi, Executive Vice President and President of U.S. cards at Discover Financial Services, said in a filing today with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. “Capital One’s commitment will ensure what we started continues into the future.”
