Pros

Having worked at DISH for 6+ years, I've seen the culture change for the positive and it is now a pleasurable place to contribute.

Cons

Has a bad, undeserved reputation. It takes a long time to change the culture of an organization but it is changing for the better.

Pros

Solid work,overtime, fully equiped trucks. The company provides all tools and uniforms and all are high quality. Dish is very proactive about safety of our employees and training is provided on an ongoing basis. Field work is a tough job as is the call center, this is not a job for those not suited to hard work. This is a company that expects you to produce not sit back on your laurels and float along. Great co-workers and managers for the most part.

Cons

Pressure of meeting metrics is tough, however necesary. If you cannot work hard and "get er done" this is not the place for you. Pay could be a little better.

Pros

Good starting pay, bi-weekly bonuses, cheap Dish service, work mostly independent without someone hovering over you all day, work outside in new places everyday, Dish supplies everything but boots. You don't have to buy your own tools, gas, materials or uniforms. Plenty of room to grow and advance into a management or quality assurance position if you want. 401k, health, dental, short and long term disability, discounts on a bunch of services and products including Verizon and AT&T wireless service, discounts on new car purchases, 40% discount on the products we sell. In addition to the ability to get up to $250 bonus every check, we also get points for selling products and services that we can redeem for ipads, books, tents, bikes, hotel rooms, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Plenty of work, I've never been sent home for lack of work. Lots of paid vacation that you can start using as soon as your probation period is up. Paid holidays. Transfer to just about anywhere in the USA if you decide to move. Three days off every week. Get to meet new people everyday from all walks of life.

Cons

Health insurance deductible is pretty high. Also this job isn't for everyone. If you are scared of climbing high on ladders or under houses then look somewhere else. Also you will run into spiders, snakes and other critters. Sometimes you will work in extreme hot or cold conditions. As long as you know all this going into the job and don't have a problem with it the pros out weigh the cons.
