Pros

Without question DISH is not the worst company in the country to work for. Dish has recognized opportunities for improvement and has been taking steps to change in several key areas. I do not want to dismiss the negative statements that have appeared on this site in the past but DISH is simply not the same company it was even three years ago. The vast majority of current DISH employees will tell you that the company is changing, sometimes not as fast as some would like, but change has come to DISH.

Cons

Most current employees would probably tell you that the benefits are not the best. Travel expense reimbursement can be a frustration but it is manageable.

Pros

competitive pay, typical benefits, encouraged to move up, supportive management, easy to work with military schedule, value employees that work hard, easy access to the management team

Cons

Cons are not related to DISH specifically, but more of the type of work. Computers for 8 hours a day, can be a bit mind numbing.

Pros

Innovation Opportunity The Cowboy Spirit Charlie Ergen Joe Clayton Bernie Han The many teammates who work hard and play hard! The Dish Cafe Daz Bog Summer Concerts The Hopper The Boston Guys Change Being a part of something very amazing. I never like when Dish Execs say Dish is not for everyone. Dish IS for everyone. It is a place to explore, learn, challenge yourself and endeavor to be better. Walking through the front door with an employee badge means you are not afraid of a challenge and are about to work on some pretty cool stuff. This is TV not knitting. Television is a 24/7 business. If systems are at risk or a customer has family coming for Christmas and needs a rush Hopper install, they are not calling 911. Customers rely upon the willingness, passion and support of highly trained Dish Employees to maintain service. You will be asked to give your all. So... It is a competitive industry with a lot of reward. You have to be prepared to be passionate about your work, love the product, embrace being an agent of change, endeavor to innovate and enjoy running circles around the competition. That is for everyone. Dish is selective regarding who gets to join the team. Never understood what was wrong with that. Dish expects you to be on time to work. Thank God, so do I. And, so does the rest of corp America.

Cons

Dish was not prepared for the fast growth and does not have the people systems in place to compete with the best companies in America.
