Pros

DISH appreciates and rewards talent and hard work. If you are the type of person that doesn't let obstacles get in your way and has a drive to succeed, you will succeed here. There are many opportunities to learn different areas of the business and people frequently move from department to department getting more experience. Experience is valued along with education. Fast paced and a lot of change mean you won't get bored. Job security and opportunity for advancement if you are hard working and willing to push yourself.

Cons

Fast paced environment can be challenging. Department silos exist and can be a hinderance to the smooth flow of information. Human resources hasn't always been employee friendly but that is beginning to change. Benefits and compensation could be better. The high deductible medical benefits are certainly not top of the line. Compensation is below average unless ou have a manager that knows how to push through the obstacles.

I love working at DISH

Pros

If you enjoy a 9-5 job that is the same old grind every day then you probably would not enjoy working at DISH. Every day is an adventure. In each job I've ever had the people you work with are the key to how you feel about the company. I work with great, forward thinking people. Waking up is always fun when I know I'm going to work at DISH.

Cons

You don't like to work hard - you don't even like to come to work on a regular basis? Then DISH is not for you. Sure, you may work long hours and have unscheduled overtime pop up based on the situation of the moment. However, at least you have a job. You don't like talking on the phone to people who are mad? Just think of it as an opportunity. My goal is always to have my customer thank me at the end of our time together.

Pros

The company is very smart with money and very stable. There is never a fear that the company is "going under" or about to drop staff.

Cons

I hear the salary isn't as high as some other companies but I've received multiple raises and promotions in my 6+ years here and am quite comfortable with my current pay and future prospects.
