Pros

Best things are that there is lots of opportunity to learn and improve. If you are self starter, you can create an impact. Company is entrepreneurial, can make fast upper management decisions and is focussed on long term value creation.

Cons

Not very structured in career development and progression, and quirky policies. If you enjoy what you do, it is easy to overlook the quirks

Pros

I have worked at Dish for over 10yrs in IT and have see this department grow to a World Class organization. The talent, knowledge and skills within this department exceeds others that I have work in and I have been in IT for over 20yrs and have worked at the senior management level for Fortune 500 companies. C-Level and VP level management is impressive and they do care about the employee along with their organizations vision.

Cons

It is fast pace, typical IT with many projects and overwhelming customer demands along with the daily SOP tends to impact your work/life balance.

Pros

Every job I work on is a completely different and new experience. No two days are the same, and generally speaking every customer is always pleased to see a DISH tech at their door. It really benefits us having the stellar customer service we have because it really makes our job much more enjoyable and customers much easier to work with. Needless to say, this is a very challenging job. Managing the customer, job at hand, things that may/have/will go wrong, and a strict schedule means constant on the fly strategic thinking and good customer service. From troubleshoots to 10 hour jobs, you have to be on point and focused, otherwise the customer experience, DISH's equipment, and most importantly your safety may be in jeopardy. I love working outside and with my hands, and I love the technology DISH is pushing out and we are installing. Best of both worlds for me!

Cons

Dealing with retailers that screw over customers. Whether they were sold the wrong setup, quoted wrong on price, or told one thing and was given another, YOU become the face of DISH and must fix their problems. Always ALWAYS get as much information as you can before beginning an install. It's the worst when 2 hours in they realize what you are providing is not at all what they wanted.
