Pros

At one point in time maybe there were some pros working for DISH, but that is gone.

Cons

I was hired as an operations manager and the onboarding was horrific. There was no structure and no leadership in place for guidance. I was asked to take over an office that had been left with out management for 4 months. It was a complete mess. I stuck around to make change. I caught on quick that this company is ran by command and control leadership. Some of their top executives are absolute lunatics. They would display theatrical moments of aggression, intimidation, and disrespect in meetings. Trying their best to instill fear to get you to do what they want. This isn’t 2000 anymore. You are not an operations manager because you are demanded to have answers for constant reporting, meetings, and situations. They literally required their operations manager to be prospects and go find electricians to see if we can do business for them installing EV. There was no commission for that either. This company doesn’t care about its people. The put that on full display this past week. They are laying off tenured employees (at all levels), closing offices, and terminating employees that are on performance improvement plans because it’s the best decision for the company. That is complete garbage. They have no loyalty, no trust, and no future. Employees are jumping ship at a rapid pace. If you drink the koolaid they want than you will say DISH is “tightening” up and making “difficult decisions”. This company is going bankrupt. Command and control will never have a future. Do not apply here. If you are still employed with this company than you need to start looking for a new job/career ASAP.

Pros

Can be a good place to get promoted (for some), relatively few layoffs and standard benefits and 401k, etc.

Cons

Dish is an old school company that is struggling to stay relevant. Dish recently became a wireless company and that is where all the focus is now. I would not join the Dish or Sling parts of the business because they have no real direction anymore and no one in leadership really cares about these parts of the business. The biggest con though is how Dish treats employees. Since the start of this year Dish has faced unprecedented turnover because to put it simply, no one wants to work here anymore. Dish has always treated employees like children with badge reports that get sent up to leadership if you clock in past 9am (at corporate) and having 20% of your yearly performance appraisal based on how much you fit into company culture which as a leader I can tell you amounts to how many hours you’re in the building and how much senior leadership likes you. Dish forced employees back after COVID way before most companies with little regard to safety or employee’s concerns and has refused to consider permanent work from home or hybrid schedules. Because of this and so many other things we are losing employees daily. Company response has been that anyone leaving is a “poor culture fit” which is Dish’s response to any opinion they disagree with. Overall Dish is a toxic place filled with gossip and politics where senior leadership asks for lots of feedback but will in fact make zero changes unless it involves more free snacks. Dish may seem like a good place to grow a career but it will crush your spirit if you stay too long.
