Pros

Build you up in the interview Build up the place as a place with opportunities

Cons

Director of Operation loves to curse out employees and berate employees in front of peers No respect from upper management Upper management would rather look at and nitpick the stuff that does not matter over the substance of the material Terrible mentors; when asking for program managers for help they will always con the person by saying yes meet with me at this time, but the time never comes. Claim to have an open door, but never give guidance Retaliation is accepted. Do not say anything negative about the Director when things are supposed to be confidential Ethics are terrible as one will be told a situation will not affect the employee, but about a week later a counseling will ensue for that exact same thing The place is too much about covering yourself than making a difference in the business. Do not try and give more as there will be haters at every corner to knock you down.

Pros

The internship provided great access to upper management and afforded me a real opportunity to make a difference in the company.

Cons

None for the internship, but heard a lot of complaints from full-time employees about how they didn't have nearly the visibility they had thought they would coming out of the internship.

Pros

Free satellite television, the building is nice, clean and there is a cafeteria on the premises.

Cons

The management is terrible! The work load is completely unrealistic. Employees are currently expected to work mandatory 50 hour work weeks, and can be pulled in on weekends (no questions asked). The company preaches their values all the time and even goes as far as making employees carry a card with them that lists the companies values. If you don't have the card on you, they will write you up. I have seen so many talented employees leave dish for jobs that pay half as much just to get away from the company. (Even the management is unhappy there and we have had 4 managers leave within the last two months.) There is no incentive to move up in the company because the higher you move up the closer you get to the problem.
