Pros

Most of the people you work with are wonderful people. Salt of the earth, hardworking type of folks. I love the guys and ladies with whom I work. That's at the local level.

Cons

The "benefits", if you can call them that, are laughable. Upper levels of management want things done their way, period. Heaven help you if you point out some logical flaw in their thinking, or lack thereof. Also, no one department tends to know what another is doing. Department A rolls out a plan that directly affects department B without bothering to let department even have a say in it.

Pros

Dish has a dynamic atmosphere, is in an exciting industry, and has a very entrepreneurial spirit. Charlie and his wife founded the company and built it from the ground up and in this day and age (and especially this economy), it is nice to see them still involved. It has not been gobbled up into a huge media conglomerate either so there is plenty of room for growth.

Cons

Within the past 2 years it seems like there has been a continuous shuffling of executives and upper management. Our DNS Operations, Marketing and HR departments especially seem to have a hard time retaining good leaders. With Charlie at the helm we also suffer from low pay, stingy benefits, and a general feeling of being a commodity. It would be nice if executives could recognize the value of human capital.
