Pros

Good salary, good benefits, good 401K program. Good job if you are going to school to get another job.

Cons

Stressful job speaking to customers on the phone. Difficult job reading from a script and speaking on the phone for 8 hours a day. They expect you to be a robot. Customers yelling at you for 8 hours. You have got to have a lot of patience to work at DISH. The worst part of the job is the managers. A lot of arrogant people at the company that don't care about the employee. The QA process is messed up. Lack of professionalism at the company. You better get friendly with your supervisor, be in good working relations with him or her if you want him to help you dispute Quality assurance scores. I can deal with the customers yelling at me. I can't take the lack of professionalism at DISH.. DISH and I don't have the same values.

Pros

- Paid training - Great trainers - Great people to work with - Great coaches - Hours are flexible; can swap days or push hours for regular schedule - Opportunity to acquire different shifts periodically by placing a bid which is based on performance - With the right mind-set one can excel and move up quickly - Multiple/varied promotion opportunities - Competitive pay from start (based on past experience initially and thereafter on performance) - Great bonuses! Make up to 40% of your gross pay every two weeks (all based upon position & performance) - Free Dish Network service

Cons

- Must pass online assessment to even be considered for submitting an application or getting an interview; a 6 month reset if one fails. This is alright for some, but perhaps the entire process could be rethought because it eliminates many who are capable of doing the job though may not have access to the internet or those who prefer doing in-person applications - Almost too much information to digest compared to the ever-shortening training program - Expect to sit for long periods of time - Be prepared to put up with various people, stupidity the likes you didn't believe existed - Just like any job, there are some people in positions in which they have no business - Occasionally they mandate 1-2 hours of overtime, more-so at the end of summer till the end of the year - Unreal turnover but many are college students; others just aren't cut out for the amount of information put on them or the stress brought on by customer's complaints and the occasional rant

Pros

My professional colleagues have been great to work with, and I also like the benefits package of free compensation for America's Top 120 without a contract.

Cons

Dish Network has a habit of demanding that your personal life revolve around the call center,and have radically changes in schedules at least once every other month. They will at times have mandatory overtime by working an additional 5 hours on your day off, but also will force employees to leave 1 to 2 hours into their shift. This week I have earned less than eight hours because they had mandatory LEPC (leave-early per call center), and I am considered a full-time employee. The company has a habit of changing business policy quite frequently resulting in a negative viewpoint from customers as well.
