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.

Pros

-Can be very rewarding if the effort is put forth. -Profit sharing, and Dish programming discounts are really nice. -Leadership development is also a great attribute

Cons

No college degree? No promotion in management; plain and simple. (This is a new policy in the last year or so) Middle management gets the brunt of the stress from below and above which leaves little time to pursue a degree especially if you have a family. Most management departures are the result of either poor performance (understandable) or a direct result of family pressure from poor work/life balance. Medical ins. Is also equivalent of purchasing your own. Very high deductibles and premiums.
