Pros

n/a. nothing good at this company.

Cons

employees are tracked via their badges and you must be within the office between 'core hours': 9a - 4p. employees are fearful that they may not hit their 40 hour work week and will opt to eat at the company cafeteria (which is not free) vs leaving the office for a few minutes. if the weather is bad, prepare to leave hours in advance or get a hotel room at your expense; as if you're not in by 9am, you'll be in trouble. no WFH option. the CEO mentioned during a company meeting that people that work from home 'must be serial killers'. the office is rundown and falling apart. when it rains, the water gets into the building. the interior is very neglected and has the same look at the prior company that had the lease (think 80s). all decisions are made by one person. causing a bottleneck; especially when that person is OOO. very high turnover which has led to a huge knowledge gap, low morale and a lot of extra work with fewer amount of people. employees are paid 30-40% under market value and the benefits are laughable.

Pros

Opportunity - DISH is more open to hiring people moving from out of the area or people with less experience than would be ideal as long as the candidate seems promising. Once you're an employee, there's a lot of opportunity for promotion and movement to other areas of the business.

Cons

The benefits aren't good. Pay can be low. The biggest con I've seen across the company is that you need to be liked to get promoted. I have seen some really good employees and managers stall out because they won't "play the game", and I've seen some mediocre people get promoted because they'll suck up. The company often acts too quickly when they need to take their time and takes too long when they need to move quicker. Some business decisions should be taken slower, and hiring needs to go quicker. There isn't much flexibility, depending on the team, with working from home.
