Pros

A paycheck. Taught me cable and skills which they could never take away. No matter how many time everyday I was told I was going to get fired, every day you belittled me and my manager's. Manager's get people fired to keep their jobs instead of working with them. All while destroying your self esteem and make you feel less than nothing.

Cons

Apply to Charter/Timewarner now. Benefits suck, Backstabbing, Treat you as a number, losing money. Had best numbers in the office and was never offered a promotion when eligible. They are broke, used the same uniform for 2 years and waited a year for new clothes until I quit. If you can't afford to outfit your employees its time to Fold em Charlie. CEO is a figurehead, his master put all the profits for his company in buying wireless bands he is going to have to sell because nobody will merge with his company for HSD infrastructure. Because anyone who knows him knows his company is going under. Making Techs sell $500 a month or your fired. Basically you have to make Dish enough money to cover a third of your own paycheck. Commission to points system where the rate .10 cents/point. Soundbars cost the customer 200 and you get 50 points. So 5 dollars. The one thing i got from there was broken when arrived. No teamwork, Reese is a snake, don't trust him. Get in get experience and go somewhere better. Seen people 8+ years walked out because of a bad month. The tactics to get ahead are so evil, anyone who has been there awhile, you know they had to do some questionable activities. Misery loves company. And oh yea, no one in history has ever retired from DISH. That should tell you something. Mandatory extra days.

Pros

Opportunity to prove yourself, leadership training, travel, the frontline people

Cons

Benefits (it is better to not have insurance), Culture (back stabbing cut throat), No clear direction in the company. Be thankful Joe Clayton is there because Charlie. would not provide leadership training, wages or personality. The company might have been gone by now. Just when you think you can trust someone you really cant trust them at all.

Awful upper management

Pros

Good pay, bright employees, interesting work

Cons

Upper management clueless to the everyday concerns of the employees. Morning badge report was very off-putting. Employees are treated as if they are children who need constant supervision.
