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

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.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective with us. Hearing about your day-to-day reality in sales—from lead quality to equipment needs—is incredibly valuable as we continuously work to refine our internal processes and onboarding experience. While we are glad you enjoyed the flexibility of working from home, it is disheartening to learn that you felt misled by our initial job description and interview process. We want to ensure our teams feel properly supported and equipped to succeed in their roles. Our People Operations team would welcome the opportunity to dive deeper into your feedback regarding our commission structures and lead generation systems. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can better understand your specific situation. Thank you again for your candor in this situation.
