Pros

I have never seen another company that is as committed to promoting their employees and giving them great opportunities early on in their careers--I feel like there is a lot of opportunity for growth across the organization. My manager has been flexibile and accommodating. The people I work with are for the most part great.

Cons

I would like to see more work-from-home opportunities and more vacation time. There are a lot of silos in the organization that need to be addressed.

Pros

To date our company is seeking out new talent and developing the existing talent while doing so, raising the BAR on "People, Process and Technology". I have been with the company now 11 years and started as a FSS-1 and currently hold the position of General Manager. We definitely have room to improve, but what I get excited about is that we are aware of the needed improvement and everyone seems genuinely motivated about making the necessary changes to make our team better. I have personally seen positive changes in all of our managers from the FSM to the VP's. With that I have also received feedback from the front line employee’s noting the difference. For Those of you looking for a Career that is fast paced, filled with a spirit and need to improve at all levels, fun and a ladder to climb limited only by your will to move up DISH is the place.

Cons

We are in a video, communications industry that requires a team that can move on a dime and produce at very high levels and as in any company, high performance is key to success. Unfortunately we were never really good at how we communicated that need for high performance and most importantly how to get our teams to "want to" reach a high level of performance. Though greatly improved there are still traces of this "old School" mentality to act first vs listen, train and motivate. Thankfully in most cases these issues are approachable and able to take feedback and continue to show improvement. I am very hopeful and excited in the direction we are going.
