Decent pay but high pressure and micromanagement

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home and pay was ok at first but then you will hit a road block. Worked there 6 years was making 21 dollars an hour,

Cons

High pressure to sell boost mobile cell service even though we work on the tv side of business also to sell starlink internet and regular technical support goals, failure to do so would result in being fired eventually. Little to no job security. Always being asked to do more with little to no pay increases. Dish also does not prepare you for what the job demands, they teach you basic things but mostly your learning on the job. I also always felt threatened by management for example they would post a article saying do this or that if not there would be discipline.
