Pros

My boss is balanced and gives me the opprotunity to succeed. He supports me as a person, a father and an employee. DISH's leadership is dedicated to building a talented team to work in an exciting industry. The company invests in its future and is poised to change the way consumers interact with technology.

Cons

The location is a bit outside the heart of Denver, which can make a commute challenging.

Pros

Experience working in large, Fortune 200 company. Quickly gain responsibility in most department. Work on projects that are significant and an important role. Dish doesn't put people on a project just so they "gain experience". Every teammember has significant responsibilities. I like this! In marketing, I meet and work with coworkers, vendors, and other industry affiliates throughout the television industry. Great networking. Coworkers generally care about their jobs and take pride in our work.

Cons

The pay is not up that great. That's why I sugest getting good experience at Dish and then moving on. Come to Dish and within a few years you'll make manager, and early than you would at other companies. Take the experience, and then go to another company and make more money. A lot of my coworkers in the marketing department have done that and they say that the experience at Dish kickstarted their careers. I'm thinking about doing the same.

Working at Dish's HQ in Denver

Pros

I have been at Dish for years, and am currently working as an office manager in the CFO's office. In addition to coordinating several manager's schedules, I provide office support and coordinate different teams. Working at Dish is always fun because of the employees that work here who really exemplify teamwork and commitment. We often do group lunches or go for drinks after work. Leadership at Dish is great, and there's a real culture of innovation and winning -- even though we're the underdog in the industry playing against competitors who are backed by large corporate groups with a lot more money.

Cons

Obviously Dish isn't giving away as many stock options as they did in the early days. The people I know who started working at Dish in the late 1990's made the most money.
