Discover has announced plans to add more than 160 jobs at its Discover Student Loans call center in West Valley City. The positions will be for operators working with student loan applications, loan processing and customer service.

“We are looking for caring candidates that can help families navigate the decisions around paying for college,” said Steve Peck, vice president at the Discover Utah Customer Care Center.{mprestriction ids="1,3"} “These potential employees must be able to help families do everything from filling out an application to answering questions as they decide if a student loan is right for them.”

“Discover is a great place to work, both from a campus and culture perspective. We embrace values such as collaboration, inclusion and respect. Our Utah locations have been recognized for being a top place to work for the past five years,” said Peck. “We are looking for candidates who are drawn to this type of atmosphere.”

Discover, a direct banking and payment services company, operates only U.S.-based customer care centers, Peck said. {/mprestriction}
