Pros

Good pay, hours and benefits. Love the work and the atmosphere. Training is great and work/life is well balanced. Enkoy travelling to neighboring cities and paid drive time. Management comes from within so they know the job and help keep you motivated. Overtime is a plus. Company pays for tools, van, training and drive time. Never have to skip a lunch or break for customer service. You are your own boss, and your work directly affects your pay. The better job you do, the more you make. Incentive pay is great. Don't have to rely on any other employees to meet your goals. No sales quotas.

Cons

Never know when you will get off, have to wake up at 5am to get to work by 6:30am.

Pros

Upbeat and always changing environment to work in. Growth opportunities if you are willing to put forth the effort.

Cons

Compensation. Aside from that I will not comment on anything negative until I have seen all operations of the company. It is easy to talk bad about a company. All company's have a downside and that is the negativity of employees. If you can run a company to the degree of perfection than maybe you should not be working for someone else. Do yourself a favor, If you do not like this company than you should leave.

Dish has been great to me

Pros

In the 4 years I have been with the company, Dish has given me the opportunity to grow and promote. It has not been easy, we all can complaint about angry customers or long calls, but that is what a call center is all about. I like that my coaches have been there for me, they have done all they can to help me understand the business and develop my skills. When I came to work I got paid and when I did my job right, I got bonuses. Money has not been an issue, between hourly wages, p4p and upsell payouts I could get decent money every paycheck. I have visited other call centers here at Dish, and I like the culture here in Phoenix, maybe because this is where I work, but the coaches and Managers seemed more involved with the agents, I like that my manager asks me about my life and he cares for what is happening to me outside work. Local management has worked with me every time I needed something like a day off or special schedule for a day. When I started I had some attendance issues, but after I realized my job was a priority, I haven’t had any issues. I am surprised with the attendance policy we have here, if you have any absences they will be deleted after 90 days, all you need to do is be punctual for 90 days and you will have 0 absences. And even with that, we have tons of agents in finals because they cannot make it on time for 90 days.

Cons

I definitely agree our training is not the best and it is not a priority, we try to function with as minimum training as we can, as agents we are trained to handle our calls, but there is not much advance training, we have to learn on the phones with the customers. Benefits are not good; I would give up TV for a better health insurance plan. Overall Dish has been great to me, I don’t think I will always work for Dish, but I come every morning wanting to do the best I can to help the company. It is not easy to work here, it is not for everybody, but it is a good company to work for. If you are applying to work here, learn three things. 1) Come to work even if you don’t feel like coming in. 2) work hard, do not cut corners. 3) Realize this is not a perfect company, but there is room to grow.
