Pros

its in Denver, loved living back in Denver

Cons

HR is out of control and use constructive criticism you give in reviews to your employees as weapons against employees Lack of accountability or performance measurement. Focus is on minutes in the building instead of results

Pros

It pays in American dollars, not Mexican Pesos. You know the saying "Any port in a storm"? Well, in this economy, that is what Dish Network is

Cons

I don't know where to start, I really can not say the company is strong in any aspect, many many problems.

Pros

4 day work week. Good amount of paid time off and decent pay only if you've been with the company for a long time (impossible for new techs to promote). Free TV (but you are forced to have it; weird) If you like alchohol this job will make you drink (kind of cool i guess?)

Cons

Wow, where to begin. Management are scumbags and if they're not they're forced to be; customers are entitled dirt bags(some). The management from the top down is terrible. It's an extremely negative work environment. 90% plus installers absolutely hate their job and are constantly stressed out. There are 6 metrics that you are constantly held to but its almost impossible to balance all of them and some are completely out of your control. On top of that if you hit the metrics you can get a bonus but the incentive becomes mandatory and you will be targeted for termination if even one of the metrics doesn't meet their ridiculous requirements. Best example is this outrageous customer survey where a 0 is 10 and 1-9 is a fail. If your average isn't 9.6 or above you're considered to be doing something wrong. You are forced to sell stupid crap to people and are barely compensated for it. Systems are sold to customers incorrectly stating absurd things the system can do but actually cant all the time. The routing system is joke. You can't even use your own tools and the safety rules are absurd, nobody can follow the rules and get their job done. It's like hurry up but don't speed. The management will randomly show up to your job sites and harass you. No respect, people look down on you. Your hair might start to fall out.
