PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Discover’s Phoenix Customer Care Center has been named as one of the Top
Companies to Work for in Arizona by azcentral.com and Republic Media (The

identifies Arizona companies with commendable workplace practices as
voted by their employees.
“Discover is committed to creating a company culture where our employees
feel engaged while providing them the tools to succeed both
professionally and personally,” said Jim Phelps, vice president of
operations in Phoenix for Discover. “Whether it’s helping our employees
achieve a successful work-life balance or developing programs that

our success.”
“This Top Company list gets more competitive each year,” says Denise

results averaging an overall favorable rate of 90 percent and an overall
employee engagement score of 92 percent, which is more than double the

workforces. This presents a powerful opportunity for award- winners to
promote their company culture to retain and attract the best talent.”
