Pros

You get great experience as an intern here - you really do real work on real projects. You get immersed in the culture, and walk away knowing a lot more about real life marketing than you did in school.

Cons

Riverwoods is kind of a crappy location. The economy has hit Discover (as it has all credit companies) pretty hard...makes you wonder whether you'll still have a job.
