      STAY AWAY - WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE

      Pros

      Absolutely none what so ever!

      Cons

      This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for. The company culture is expected to be understood and loved minutes into getting in. You are expected to follow archaic procedures for upper management who constantly remind you what dish back in the day used to be. The company is loosing 15 to 30 percent of its clients every year. Then your bonus is tied to service work you’re not getting. The company focuses on process over people leaving no room for growth. A process could be completely out dated and wrong, you and your boss agree it’s wrong, it doesn’t matter you have to do it. Expenses for trips, travel, and even taking care of your team come out your personal money. You then have to hope you stay within a 4 dollar a year per person budget or you are not getting your money back. Facility expenses like alarm company, fire extinguishers, and even getting a car out of impound when they don’t pay tickets comes out of your money and it could take up to 2 weeks to get your funds back. Why would I work to spend money here. There is no training for a manager either. You come on and they throw you to the wolves. They then beat you up for not knowing what’s going on. The company line is this is not to beat you up this is to help for next time.

We certainly aim to have clear, supportive processes in place, and we understand how challenging it can be when those systems don't work efficiently, especially when it affects reimbursement for business-related costs. We are constantly reviewing how we can streamline and improve our operational procedures. We appreciate you taking the time to outline these challenges, as your perspective helps us understand areas where we need to focus our efforts to be a better company.

      Toxic Environment

      Pros

      Great co-workers and flex time.

      Cons

      Toxic cult like atmosphere. Besides the horrible benefits and pay, the company is now very strongly pressuring its employees to leave their current wireless carrier and sign up for Boost Mobile, which is Dish owned and the direction the company is going. A list has been created of who has the service and who doesn’t that managers receive daily updates on. For those that don’t, they are harassed endlessly to sign up for Boost Mobile and drop their current provider. They want 100% of the employees signed up by the end of March. This includes moving family and friends over too! Why a company would basically demand and harass its employees is beyond me and a violation of personal choices/rights. Listen to all of the negative reviews and stay far away from Dish, EchoStar, Boost, etc. They are a very toxic company that overly controls their employees and the reward for staying is horrible benefits, pay and forgotten employee service awards!

      Very negative experience

      Pros

      Great to network with professionals. You’ll also gain experience here, but the job market is tough so it can be hard to leave and line something up.

      Cons

      - Overly complicated hiring steps/process that also change like the wind - Constantly changing directions and priorities - Micromanagement - Charlie still runs the show - 100 different metrics you’re measured on, with new ones added and old metric expectations increasing with added workload - understaffed, downsizing, and no intention of backfilling recruiters - teams you hire for are downsizing too - culture of burnout and overworking - VERY concrete in-office expectation of 42.5 hours (accounting for lunches that you aren’t working) - can’t step outside during the workday as you’ll have to badge out of the building and would affect the hour requirement above^ - raises and increases nonexistent and no intention on adjusting to market rates across the whole company. (C-suite keeps saying it’s coming and pushing it further back) - overall poor work culture. Many I’ve spoken to are even willing to take a pay cut to leave.
