Pros

Coworkers are the only positive.

Cons

Employees are forced to give positive ratings so the company review isn’t as bad! CEO is a puppet for Charlie and Charlie gets whatever he wants, I honestly feel bad for the guy because he probably hates his life too being a talking head rather than a real decision-maker. Rather than allowing corporate employees to be responsible adults, Charlie demands each person to be at work during core hours 9-4 not a minute late to work and not a minute early leaving. You have to take PTO if you miss even an hour for a doctor appointment. Work from home is non existent unless state mandated due to a pandemic and even then they switch back to in person the minute the shutdown is lifted regardless of employee fear of a second wave. During all team meetings Charlie calls millennials “soft” and tells everyone that dish isn’t the place for people to come if they want good benefits or to go to their kids baseball games. Corporate attrition is at least 50%. He doesn’t believe his employees can work remotely because we “need whiteboards and non verbal cues to be productive”. Benefits are an absolute joke they pay for nothing whatsoever and continue to boast that they offer competitive benefits and pay when most people decline job offers because they are so terrible. Employee engagement surveys are consistently trending down for corporate and HR yet leadership does nothing to fix the core issues of work life balance and benefits. AKA let us come in and leave when we want and give us the opportunity to work from home when our kids are sick or there is a snowstorm that shut down all of Denver rather than take PTO. The company changed benefits mid year and is decreasing PTO and tuition reimbursement for employees that accepted job offers based on the accrual rate promised. The company is shady and Charlie is the richest man in Colorado so he won’t change what works for him. Sooner or later millennials will be the largest group of workers and he will be SOL.

I’m sorry to hear your experience at DISH didn’t meet your expectations. Feedback is important to us at DISH, and we encourage all of our employees to share their thoughts in a variety of ways – through regular engagement surveys, HR-hosted round tables, and an anonymous reporting tool. This gives our leadership team the opportunity to make changes and improve the overall employee experience. We don’t require employee feedback, positive or otherwise, in any way. Like most companies, DISH has high standards and expects its employees to report to work on time. We have thousands of employees and millions of customers that rely on each of us every day to provide a critical service that keeps them entertained and connected. But we know life happens. Employees may need to arrive late or leave early, and managers are happy to work with their direct reports to balance these needs ahead of time whenever possible. We’re proud to be a known industry disruptor and innovator — and it’s our commitment to collaboration and curiosity that gives us the opportunity to be just that. We continue to implement employee feedback each year, and our most recent survey results are actually at an all-time high. We also haven’t reduced our PTO accruals or tuition reimbursement amounts. Again, I’m sorry to hear you had a negative experience here at DISH. Dave

Pros

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Cons

They don’t provide any equipment aside from the computer itself. They mislead you during the interview and job description. You are paid according to price of product sold and close rate however it’s all inbound calls and you can not call back. The inbound calls are lousy, people who don’t even have a $1 on a card in order to do the eligibility check, or no card at all.. poor credit which leads to higher out of pocket costs. I think only a handful of times I couldn’t overcome the spousal objection or the just shopping objection. Those I will take responsibility for but if I’m getting calls from people who don’t have a card or don’t have a $ or don’t have the money to put down OR already have an account or is a mis-transfer or were passed along because the technicians have to make referrals even though the customer isn’t actually interested in the product yet the tech makes them still call.. that’s crap and it’s not real sales.
