Discover Financial Services is firmly committed to its vision of bringing quality jobs to Chatham and continuing to hire local residents. Our Customer Care Center employs majority women, most of whom live within 5 miles of the center, which enables them to sustain their families. Beyond jobs, Discover provides robust wraparound services to our employees, access to diverse career pathways, and ongoing community support through our Shine Bright Community Center where we’ve hosted more than 500 events with local non-profits and businesses. We look forward to continuing our support and involvement in efforts that will contribute to a brighter financial future for Chatham residents and our employees.
