Pros
Lots of great team members. Charlie (the Chairman) is a visionary. He founded the company back in the 80s, realized some 10-15 years back the need diversify beyond satellite TV, and is known as a shrewd negotiator. Potential upside in career opportunities and in the stock purchase plan if Dish can pull off its 5g network
Cons
Would you like to work for Charles Montgomery Burns? At Dish, you work for a different Charles. But there's a strong resemblance in terms of how leadership treats its people. Dish's executive team are white middle-aged/senior citizens who don't acknowledge the shifting workforce demographics. Cultural disputes are rampant as most of the front-line team members are under 40 with a fairly diverse composition. But management is still stuck in the 90s. Don't even think about working here if you're looking for flexibility. If you have a sick kid or aren't comfortable driving in the snow -- those are your problems. You still got to find your way to work on-time. My former VP even had middle-managers report why people didn't show up to the office. Badge report is real as they track your time. Bureaucratic busy work. Instead of forcing people in, management should build a culture that makes people want to come in.
