Pros

Dish manages to recruit some talented, intelligent, hard-working people.

Cons

Hours are insane. No work-life balance. Pay is low for the responsibility given. No one in management really cares about the well-being of employees. Badge report system symbolizes the lack of trust in employees. (Badge in after 9, regardless of whether you are doing work off-site and it will be reported to upper-management)

Pros

NONE!!! & NONE & NONE Waste of time!!!! LOOK elsewhere for a job!

Cons

TOO many to name !! THE management, supervisors and so -called line leaders ALL need to be fired!!! They lack people skills don't know how to effectively communicate with the perm or temp employees. The don't know how to properly place their employees on the line. No leadership skills. If you are thinking of dish PLEASE LOOK elsewhere for a better company. They also expect you to work like a slave but they only pay $9.00 hr that even if you work the graveyard shift 3rd. The management NEVER COMPLIMENTS you if you meet your dailly scanning quota, they are VERY Qucik to find FAULT with whatever your doing!! EVEN if its the right thing that THEY TOLD YOU to do.I hate this company!!!!

Pros

The only advantages of working at DISH are the income potential and a nominal, or no cost, cable television subscription. In exchange for these advantages you pay a steep price in attempting to maintain your personal integrity, to truly satisfy a customer's (vs. the company's) stated needs, and your sanity.

Cons

In theory, the inside sales representative's goal is to satisfy customer wants and needs. In practice, at DISH, this goal is perverted to satisfy the company's wants and needs, regardless of whether they are in line with those of the customer. In this environment, sales management places a priority on "selling the slinky sphinx," that product or service which is most profitable or which will, in the company's estimation, increase customer loyalty. The best way to sell this slinky sphinx is to not tell the customer what he or she is paying for or to simply ignore what the customer wants or needs and quote a price which satisfies the wants or needs of the company. As a result of management's total disregard for employee's concerns, unreasonable requirements for overtime, the compensation for this overtime, micro-management, lack of direction in sales objectives, chargebacks to employees income, and total disregard of the wants and needs of customer and employees, turnover for inside sales representatives is astronomical. Rather than attempting to address these concerns, management takes the attitude that the best answer is for an employee to resign or be fired because they can find another willing to fill his or her seat.
