Pros

You have the chance to hone your skills in whatever department you think you fit. There's ample opportunity to move up, although most positions require you to move.

Cons

Horrible communication between corporate managers and employees who work outside of the corporate office. Horrible travel policies, where you must wait forever to be reimbursed for simple costs. What company makes you pay for everything when you travel? Benefits are alright, but health insurance is like having none at all. There is barely an employee discount for Dish Network Service. You're given the Top 100 and locals, you must pay for anything above. What's wrong with giving it to us for free, since we work for the company?

Pros

Introduction to the industry. Innovative equipment. Forward thinking regarding the equipment and installation quality.

Cons

No money, overworked, no appreciation for hard work and effort. They are NEVER satisfied. The 4 days on, 4 days off, 3 days on, 3 days off schedule is the standard for 365 days a year. (even Christmas Day) Even at that, 110 hours in two weeks is average. They go through people so much that getting a promotion is nearly impossible because the multi/managers approval is hard to get from a revolving door.

Pros

Easy to get hired on at entry level. Can promote if you go through the correct hoops. Good on the resume.

Cons

Poor benefits, heath care. LOOOOOONG hours with LOW pay!!! No recognition for going the extra mile. A simple at-a-boy goes far. Not given the right resources for the job. To many chiefs and not enough Indians!
