Pros

Traveling alot and meeting new people and challenges every day. Work days are never the same, so you never know what your going to do until you get to work that day! Its hard to get bored.

Cons

I seriously could write a book on how much this company fails to understand what a positive and understanding atmosphere could do in terms of employee performance. I don't know about anyone else, but I am a human being with feelings. I don't deal with threats, negativity, or financial punishments too well! I for one do not tolerate threats of losing my job just about every other day I come to work. From time spent on completing a job to making sure we connecting a phone line to a customers reciever we are under the microscope. I don't believe fareness comes when I get a trouble call,which causes me to miss out on a bonus, when a reciever fails on them! That is not something that should reflect on the employee! Now management are like drones and rarely speak to the employees like real people. Most of the time we are talked down to and none of it is positive reinforcement. Once a tech finishes training he/she becomes a target for dismissal. First off we are not robots and we are in the customer service industry! Not the army! We need to be there for the customer! I will not be that speedy guy doing an install ignoring the customer. Either way I feel nothing positive out of this company what so ever! The biggest issue I have is that if you are not Mr.Speedy you consistently work a max of three days as punishment! What a great idea to make me care at all! Wait a min! another negative military treatment! Again I feel as if I should just ignore making sure my customer is taken care of for my own personal benefit. I guess it really doesnt matter that I am making a true effort for a one and done! Overall I had a problem and a bad feeling about this company before I started! Sure enough I was right and I can't wait to get out!

Pros

My professional colleagues have been great to work with, and I also like the benefits package of free compensation for America's Top 120 without a contract.

Cons

Dish Network has a habit of demanding that your personal life revolve around the call center,and have radically changes in schedules at least once every other month. They will at times have mandatory overtime by working an additional 5 hours on your day off, but also will force employees to leave 1 to 2 hours into their shift. This week I have earned less than eight hours because they had mandatory LEPC (leave-early per call center), and I am considered a full-time employee. The company has a habit of changing business policy quite frequently resulting in a negative viewpoint from customers as well.

Pros

If you come to work every day on time and do what you're supposed to do, it is VERY easy to get promoted and get off the phones.

Cons

Management making decision about policies and call metrics is VERY out of touch with what it's like to spend all day on the phones.
