Pros

Free tv and dedicated senior management at the corporate level.

Cons

Queens upper management are enforcers rather than leaders. The only thing they inspire is fear. I have been one of the most successful coaches in the enterprise for the last 4 years, however I had to resign due to an "erroneous" consultation which stagnated my career on several occasions. Managers refused to acknowledge that they made a mistake with my consultation despite its subjective nature and the lack of evidence.

Pros

You get to work on new technology.

Cons

Management sucks specially at the director level. they make the LEAD training mandatory but that just seems like formality. Directors mindset is still in 60-70 era. No work life balance, bad culture overall. They are still pulling badge report if you are late by even 1 min you will have to explain it.

Pros

If i had to sum up my time at DISH, I would say that it was overall a miserable place to work. It deserves to be the worst employer in the world. Now, I can tell you that I actually enjoyed my first six or so month on the job. After that, everything went completely downhill. I once heard one of the VP's tell a group of people that if you weren't cheating, then you weren't doing your job correctly. How horrible is that? Some Pros: I did like some of the people I got to work with, some were horrible as well Great technology Free DISH service

Cons

Good luck ever taking a vacation day off. They will still call you every five minutes. Worst culture I've ever seen. They dont care about their employees. The pay scale for their employees is so off. Men get raises and promotions while women never do. Seriously the compensation for men on average must be atleast 20% higher for the same job. They said they did away with the badge report (being in the office from 9-4) but that is completely untrue. It still exists. It matters more about sucking up to management then it does about how good you are at your job. That place is like big brother. Your every move is being watched from the cameras around the building and parking lot, to badging in and out. The benefits there are awful. They say that the benefits are good. All lies. ZERO work/life balance. They want you to work more and more. 50+ hours is not enough.
