Pros

There is plenty of opportunity if one has the right attitude and energy. The corporate culture is improving rapidly. Joe Clayton has brought fresh energy and a positive attitude. Upper Management has clearly heard the concerns and is responding; the new LEAD program is generating a lot of excitement around leadership development. Dish has a lot of very passionate people. I am confident that my boss really wants to see me succeed, both personally and professionally. I know that my input is valued and my opinions are respected.

Cons

It would be nice if we had a big enough facility to have a dedicated desk for every agent.

Pros

Dish overall, has an excellent way of listening to their employees, through forums, tool review pages and traveling feedback groups. On site our management is good at getting feedback for needs when it is received, there are chances all day for even the newest agents to give feedback and chance both the tools and the morale around them. Additionally onsite there are constant incentives for rewards(both monitory payouts and physical items) that you can get for just hitting your metrics. We receive multiple visits from senior management per year where roundtables are held, which allows for consistent change. I have worked in several areas with this company, from tech only agent, customer service agent, advanced technical support, supervising/coaching and now as a Business Operations Specialist. In each department there is a place for those with initiative who strive for change and to develop not only their co-workers but the company it's self.

Cons

The 401k benefit and stock options are good, however the medical benefits are lacking with Dish, no HMO's available all PPO benefits. Shifts can sometimes have a high agent to coach ratio, which can leave new hires and struggling agents with less guidance and help than could be given. The training for new hires is focused on skill sets that are needed by the agents and often misses some of the technical parts that are required for the job. Working from agent up here, you will need to have the initiative to research your tools and learn your products to have a guaranteed success.

Pros

I work with good people who care about customers and each other. I like working for a pioneering and innovative company with really cool products and services. I have the opportunity to be creative in my job. I think the pay is good, for where I live, and the number of vacation days is very good, considering I don't live in France. With the prospect of DISH entering the mobile data and voice marketplace in the near future, I believe there is a ton of opportunity for growth with this company. Increasingly upper managment is acting on more suggestions from employees at all levels and that is improving the company.

Cons

The health insurance is not something I am particularly satsfied with at this time, though management has ackowledged the issue and expressed a commitment to make it better. Parking is an issue at some locations because DISH employs a lot of people.
