Does it surprise anyone that many of the negative posts about Dish are from 'former employees'?
Pros
Tons of opportunity for advancement...if you work hard, get better, and stay focused! Constantly providing opportunity for additional training at every level in the organization whether it's additional leadership training for managers, or training technicians on Smart Home Services and Dishnet...the company is always offering opportunities to better yourself. The company is aware of the negative perception and cares about it...a HUGE deal! DIsh has changed the holiday scheduling, pay, and training for technicians based on technician feedback and is rolling out new uniforms to provide more comfort to technicians in the field later this year.
Cons
As many of the negative reviewers will say, it's not an 'easy' place to work. The environment is fast paced, always challenging, and performance is measured. If you aren't willing to put in the effort, this is not the company for you. However, I've found that anything in life 'worth' having, doesn't come 'easy'. Long hours can be tough on family life but, everyone is up front about the hours before you come on board so, I don't think that's unrealistic.
