Pros

Dish Network offers its employees free tv after working there for 3 months. I would say that this is the only benefit working there. Employees are treated like cattle. I can't really think of any good reason to work at DISH. If you are really into watching TV and like to be in that industry, then maybe you would like working there. There are so many tech jobs in Atlanta, I can't really see a good reason to work there. The work itself is not very exciting. They really used old techologies and are reluctant to upgrade to something new. Most of us spend our time revamping code written by people in Denver are treated like second class citizens.

Cons

There is very limited internet access available. Not matter what your position, your hours are clocked. Every time you login to your computer, you see a pop-up saying that all computer activity is monitored. Since we are not at corporate headquarters we don't get any of the perks that they offer. If you consider interviewing there, ask about the benefits up front. They don't give you the day after Christmas or Thanksgiving off either. The medical benefits are probably the worst that I have ever seen for employees. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There is not much room for advancement because all of the important work is done in Denver.
