Upper Management Issues- unorganized work

Pros

Good pay for young MBAs, promotions for people that want to be aggressive.

Cons

It's Dish, everything you hear about them is true. Hectic work projects without much direction or support from upper management.

Pros

Great group of people who really are there to Win and get Dish to a best in class operation. Great ideas daily and truly are doing things nobody else is doing in the industry.

Cons

You are a number, nothing else. I started working at Dish when I was 22 as a forklift driver. I was 100% bought in to PAW and was proud to tell everyone about it and where i worked and by the end on 9+ years of service I was a supervisor going to meetings with SVP and directors and having a direct impact on making Dish best in class. Sure there are long hours and high expectations, but if you were looking for easy this ain't the place for you, sorry. Then the worst day on my life happened. I was walked in to a room with my director and an HR rep and told that after almost 10 years of service they had no use for me and that was it. I had never received a write up, been promoted 5 times and never had a bad review with 7 out of 9 deemed as "exceeds expectations". At the end of the day you are a number, nothing else...hopefully it's not on a Friday after 10 years of blood sweat and tears that you have to find this out! Ruthless is the only real word.

Good people to work with, pay and benefits suck, management is terrible

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers are good people and fun to work with. Close to home, work isn't usually all that hard. Work-Life balance is good.

Cons

Management sucks at just about every level, engineering is treated like crap. 'Opportunity' is shoved down our throats as a benefit like other companies don't have that. Pay and real benefits suck. You get the idea.
