Pros

Most of the people are great. Good personalities and alot of people who really care about developing and helping others. At a local stand point dish does alot for the community and foe the most part works as best they can with employees concidering the type of job it is. Essentially if you come in and do your job you can succeed there.

Cons

My biggest con is that after investing 5 years into the company and putting in so much effort as a supervisor to help not only my agents but the site and the company i was terminated for something i had no control of. Someone took it upon themselves to write a hideous and slanderous email filled with lies about me and sent it out as if i was the one to send it and they sent it to site leaders, HR and several other employees. Dish addmittes that they didn't believe it was from me but because of the "content and the distraction" that they would have to terminate me. They failed to protect my best interest after i protected theirs for years. A simple investigation could have been done but it wasn't and instead of offerinf options like relocation they dropped me like it was nothing. My best suggestion is if you work at dish try not to stand out and over perform because someone will be jealous, someone will hate on you and if theu decide to soil your name you will be defenseless because dish wont be there for you.

Pros

Decent pay. If you are lucky enough to get a good manager, you might have a decent experience. Unfortunately even the good managers are helpless in most situations due to director and above management. Free satellite service.

Cons

They treat their employees like children, watching when you clock in and out. Their expectation is 45hrs minimum per week. For Christmas eve it was directed from the top that no employee under any circumstance could leave the building before 4:00PM. The benefits are a complete joke, the company is so cheap that the only perk you get is an extra week of PDO after 5 years and at 10 years you can use your sick time anytime you want. Aside from that there is zero benefit to staying with the company long term. If someone in upper management doesn't like you for any reason they will do anything they can to fire you. They use strong arm and scare tactics to get what they want. They could care less about employee culture and retention. Even 16 + year senior employees/managers are in constant fear of getting fired over the most ridiculous things. The list could go on and on.....

Pros

When the money is good it can be good. I am a top sales person at any company I work for, but with Dish I made 2k some weeks. Others I made 400, the sales pay structure is changed every 30 days or so.

Cons

Everything is a Con at Dish. The pay structure is changed so often that you never know what you are getting. Management is crazy, like no other place I have ever worked. I hated every second of working there, I was even promoted several times, but couldn't want to leave. I spent 2 years with this company providing for my family and that is the only reason. I have watched them walk out over 1000 people while I worked there. They never got over 200 sales reps but would fire everyone and anyone. I know of 3 people that quit, while over 1k were fired. Its a terrible place to work. 6 days a week, 11 hours a day, no questions asked or you are fired. You can be a total of 15 minutes late per year. So if you are 10 minutes late 1 day then you have 5 minutes for the rest of the year. No execptions. I watched people get fired because they got in a car wreck, grandma died, it doesn't matter. I never was able to take a sick or vacation day, the entire 2 years. They will not approve any time off. DON'T GO WORK AT DISH. DO ANYTHING ELSE!!!!
