Pros

Free satellite television, the building is nice, clean and there is a cafeteria on the premises.

Cons

The management is terrible! The work load is completely unrealistic. Employees are currently expected to work mandatory 50 hour work weeks, and can be pulled in on weekends (no questions asked). The company preaches their values all the time and even goes as far as making employees carry a card with them that lists the companies values. If you don't have the card on you, they will write you up. I have seen so many talented employees leave dish for jobs that pay half as much just to get away from the company. (Even the management is unhappy there and we have had 4 managers leave within the last two months.) There is no incentive to move up in the company because the higher you move up the closer you get to the problem.

Pros

Due to astronomical numbers where turnover is concerned, you will frequently get opportunities to try your hand at something a little above where you are at. Be warned that this is only through desperation on managements part, due to having scared away or fired anybody that has any kind of skill set. It will not get you anywhere within Dish. If you are currently at Dish, go ahead, take the opportunity and run with it.... It will serve you well in your next opportunity.

Cons

I wouldn't even know where to start. If you want a course in how to not run a company in every department, across every level of management, this is the place for you.

Pros

A paycheck is better than no paycheck. Camaraderie amongst other employees that are low level (this is needed to survive).

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Poor compensation for hard work. Ridiculous annual raises> No help from management, you are completely on you own. "Cheap Charley"
