      interesting projects, demanding work load

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working at Dish's HQ in Meridian has been a great experience for me because of the horizontal and vertical scale of the company. From manufacturing to installations, from customer service to satellites, and from apps to programming -- Dish is involved in all of it. As a business analyst, I work with the corp dev department to implement key and strategic projects. The good part of this is that most of my work is interesting, involves a lot of research, and is fast paced. There's rarely a boring day at Dish. I've also had the opportunity to be mentored by a director in our department. She gives me frequent, honest feedback and also helps me solve problems when I hit a roadblock that requires the involvement of other departments. Working with leaders from different departments has been fun though it's certainly challenging. The upper management of Dish -- with whom my interaction is more limited -- thinks long term. Watching Charlie position the company for long term growth is really impressive, and it's certainly something I proud to be a part of.

      Cons

      Some employees can't take the pressure of working at Dish. A lot is expected of employees and those who can't keep up feel discouraged and often quit or are fired. Starting pay is below some of the competitors, but it seems to average out as you move up the ladder.

      spanish language support

      Customer service representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Dish pays reps who speak multiple languages more. This makes sense since it's a valuable skill in limited supply. Spanish speaking bilingual reps usually get $1 or $1.50 more per hour, and it's one of the reasons I'm glad to work here. The environment is friendly and our team has people from across the continent. There's a lot of training, but it's paid so I don't mind. The day is fast paced and you are never left wondering what you should be doing. Overtime is usually available. Benefits. Free TV.

      Cons

      Dealing with angry customers can be difficult, and that accounts for about 1 out of 10 calls. Constantly have to be looking at numbers/metrics to make sure I am performing at the level required by management. Poor options for health benefits.

      call center review

      Inside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Personal income as an Inside Sales Representative is theoretically unlimited by the company, so some sales agents are doing very well financially. See cons for the negative side of this. Coworkers are friendly and fun. Health insurance, free TV, and 401(k) for full time employees. Don't come to this expecting a cushy job. Sales reps work hard and long hours, but schedules are flexible and you can almost always work extra hours. The atmosphere at Roseland center is professional and sometimes a little strict. But if you learn how to navigate the system, some people excel and can quickly climb the corporate ladder. For me, I'm happy to stay on the phone doing sales. I might not get promoted, but I determine my own income.

      Cons

      While income is technically unlimited, most people who start working in sales at a Dish call center do not make much. In fact, many quit after the first few months. Dish's hiring strategy appears to be, "Hire anyone since we only pay commissions. Employees who don't perform will weed themselves out." Of course this technique works, but it can't certainly be frustrating to see your coworkers drop off the team disillusioned and bitter after spending 2-3 months trying to make this work.
