Pros

Decent pay (once you have moved up to level IV). Flexible with time off. Four days a week.

Cons

Corporate BS. Dish network is pushing down on technicians (the FACE of the company) with insane expectation that are 100% un-acheivable. There is no technician in the company that can comply with everything the company wants all the time. You have to constantly juggle with the question "What is more important NOW?" "What will get me fired sooner" It is unbearable. plain and simple.

Pros

Values and idealogy are intact with my belief. Overall good job (in field at DNS side of company) in that you don't have to be micro managed or do same to others

Cons

Company tends to be driven through Jack Welch GE management style. ALL focus is on "bottom 20%" employees, managers, locations etc. Little recognition for who is doing what RIGHT. Some awareness of the top 10% but no real answers on how the middle can be better. Lots of focus on the technicians (face of Dish), but horrible support for their local managers Company is really stretching the field management down to bare minimum (cost and overhead) so it is very hard to have time to develop new staff or develop young managers.
