Pros

Dish has an amazing product at an amazingly low cost compared to the competition. Dish has the best technology by far, but hasn't quite figured out how to market it to the average consumer. Pros of the job is the people you work with (minus upper management).

Cons

Benefits are poor, salary is not competitive at all for what they expect of you, praises for a job well done are few and far in between, people behind the desk need to receive and actually pay attention to the people in the field. Dish is too big of a corporation to be ran like a "moms and pops" shop, they think big, expect huge results, but yet run daily operations as if they're a 10 employee company with 500 customers...huge problem. If you have a position that requires you to drive your vehicle while in the field, a gas card should be provided and your driving record outside of company time (i.e.-speeding/seatbelt tickets) should not be grounds for firing or given double points. Never quite understand why hotel rooms or car rentals have to be paid for upfront and then reimbursed, if the company is willing and able to pay for it, why not do so upfront? Raises and promotions should be based on performance alone and not who you know or how much you're willing to kiss up to them. Dish should give it's direct employees and independent retailers the tools (especially the ones that are clearly specified) that are needed to do a better job.

Pros

Challenging. They talk a good game but rarely deliver.

Cons

Hard work is not recognized. Benefits - employee bares too much of the cost. Bottom line - they will nickel and dime you into submission. Benefits, travel policy, annual increases.
