It is incredibly rewarding to know that you found our training and exposure to 5G and cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies to be a powerful learning opportunity. Equipping our professionals with industry-leading skills is something we take great pride in. Conversely, we realize that recent strategic shifts and regulatory developments regarding our spectrum assets have introduced a layer of uncertainty regarding our long-term network trajectory. While our business model continues to evolve to best navigate the shifting telecom landscape, we remain dedicated to technical innovation and utilizing the expertise of our talented teams. Your input is vital as we work to provide clarity and stability for our workforce moving forward.

Pros

Orientation was cool getting to know your coworkers.

Cons

Not knowing what your end time will be. The work orders can change in a blink of an eye, they love micromanaging, you can’t start making commission until your sixth month but yet they want you to sell like you’re like crazy while not really going over the pricing nor products in training and that only benefits the company. They will cut your hours when they are ready to get rid of you by saying “We are short on work.” I was told three different schedules when I started because management is never on the same page.

It is wonderful to hear that your orientation was an enjoyable experience and provided a great opportunity to connect with your new team members. Building those initial relationships is an important part of joining a company. On the other hand, the frustrations you shared regarding unstable scheduling, changing work orders, and training gaps are concerning. Clear guidance and consistent communication are foundational to employee success, and we want our teams to feel completely equipped to reach their goals. Your feedback regarding the commission structure, hour reductions, and training for senior technicians gives us critical insights into where our onboarding and operational processes need alignment. We are focused on fostering an equitable workplace where expectations are uniform and training is thorough. To help us better understand the specific issues you faced with management alignment and scheduling, we invite you to connect with us directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can discuss your situation further.

Pros

Some talented and creative people within the department, and the work itself had potential to be exciting and meaningful.

Cons

A major issue was leadership structure within certain departments. It often felt like departments were being managed by people who lacked direct experience or understanding of the work they were overseeing. This created disconnects in communication, unrealistic expectations, and decision-making that did not always support the actual team needs. Over time, it became frustrating working in an environment where creativity and specialized skillsets did not always feel understood or properly valued by leadership.
