Pros

Good product, understanding technicians, and a familiar brand name good to put on the resume considering its' Fortune 500 status.

Cons

The prototype of a hostile work environment. You will have your performance second guessed on a regular basis. Covert and overt threats are so dominant within the culture you become a victim of Stockholm, to some extent. Expecting and even sympathizing with them. A systematic process of browbeating even the best of your work, to the point of emotional exhaustion. Unreasonable hours, constant demands that require immediate turnarounds will psychologically impact you if remaining there long term. The culture is abusive and is indicative of a hostile work environment. Just so you know, I was in middle management, with no write ups, and under par performance reviews. If you can at all avoid it, do not accept a position at this company. They will undervalue and demoralize you in every way possible.

Pros

The company is always hiring due to their draconian policies and heavy-handedness.

Cons

Long hours, little pay, impossible to move up, poor benefits, employee opinions don't matter - unless they're negative, then you get fired.

Pros

The people I met during my tenure were invaluable.

Cons

Over worked - with no aprreciation from the company. 65-70 per week. Weekend work was mandatory in most cases. The company does not value hard working, and loyal workers. The company does not value family time. Salary was a not suitable for other comparable positions in other fortune 500 companies. There is no intergrity or trust within the company. The direction of the company changes with every "initiative". The company is so inefficient! As a manager for years Dish nickel and dimed their employees when paying expense reports. It takes 3-4 levels of approvers before you can even get paid on an expense report (heaven forbid you tipped $.01 too much. Travel Accounting will be sure to dock you for it). You sometimes waited for weeks to a month just to get your own money back! I felt like I was constantly loaning $ to Dish. In this day and age other than fast food who can afford a $10 breakfast, $10 lunch and $20 dinner including the 17% tip (yes that's all the tip Dish will reimburse) - really how embarrassing. Most employees eat the cost. Rooming with complete strangers was always a treat. I once had to room with 3 people in a room! Try to find a room in company policy for $89 per night in New York or LA! If a director or VP are on vacation or heaven's forbid NEW and have no clue how to approve a flight - look out. You only have 12 hours before the flight is rejected and the employee submitting the flight must resubmit all over again. I once had an employee resubmit 5 times because the VP had no clue how to click the "Approve" button in his email. Good use of company time. There are too many other cons to list!
