Pros

They offered a great way to learn the business and had a good understanding of personal and work life. I was promoted 2 times and my managers offered a great vision on how to move up the ladder.

Cons

When things weren't going well, transparency wasn't there. A lot of "need to know" situations occured and often led to new ideas being implemented and not followed through on before a new idea or management philosophy came to the forefront.

Pros

Nice corporate headquarters. The cafeteria was tasty.

Cons

Prior to working at Dish I spent 10 years at Uswest/Qwest. The environment was worse than the Joe Nacchio regime. Charlie Ergen is a megalomaniac. Middle management is neurotic from all of the arse whoopings by upper management, so they basically eat their own.

Pros

Get to work with some advanced electronics. Outdoor work. No direct constant supervision.

Cons

Management is distrustful of techs. Constant policy changes with no explanation. Advancement has just become much hard due to a policy change. So many safety rules, it can inhibit your ability to due a good job for the customer.
