Pros
Dish pays installers well and we have the opportunity to get a lot of over time. Most techs end up working around 45-55 hours a week. I probably average 10 or 12 hours of OT a week. Benefits for me and my family. For me, the biggest pro is probably the 4 day work week. I get to spend 3 days with my family. Even though I'm tired after the 4 days, it's nice to be home and spend time with kids.
Cons
The work is certainly physical and I'm exposed to the elements most of the day. When a job goes wrong, I have to stay until it gets resolved. Occasionally this ends up being really late and I don't get home till 9 or 10pm.
