Pros

Met a lot of good people (techs, not management) while working here. Day sometimes goes by fast because you are not in a single location

Cons

- HR is worthless and will always side with management when you bring something up. - You are disposable and will be treated as such, no respect for your well being or personal life. - There is no two-way communication between the people in the field and corporate, no feedback is allowed to go up the ladder, upper management is always right, even when you proved them wrong. - Is their WAY or the HIGHWAY, If you dont like something they will automatically show you the door and remind you that they can hire someone else. - Benefits are laughable, I pay for my own insurance and its cheaper and better than what they offer. - Your performance review as a tech is subject to many things out of your control (If the customer is at home or not, if he has phone or internet service, if it rains and you cannot do an installation, if he cancels or reschedule) all of these will affect you for promotions and raises, even though you cannot do anything about it. - The company is run as a Mom & Pop operation, and you will be micromanaged to death.

Pros

the pay with pay for performance was better then most.

Cons

communication between management supervisors to the employees is awful and it's vague the majority of the times. Constant changes to quality metrics and failure to update and give the info to the agents made for a ton of bad scores and no pay for performance pay.

Pros

If you excell at your job, Dish Network is not affraid to promote from within. I have been working there for 1.5 years and have already been promoted twice. You need to be able to fulfill the necessary duties of your job and go above and beyond to move up, but they will promote you if are good

Cons

The HR policies at Dish Network are very antiquated. They only give 2 weeks of vacation to start and you don't get any more until you've worked there 5 years. At that point they give you 3 weeks. This is non-negotiable no matter what level of management you are at.
