Pros

You can learn a lot, but run far away as soon as you can

Cons

Dish Network is a toxic work environment dominated by an outdated, oppressive corporate culture known as “The Dish Way.” The atmosphere feels more like a prison than a workplace, with rampant discrimination, a culture of fear, and corrupt management practices. For the sake of your mental health, it’s best to avoid this company. Review: Dish Network is a prime example of a corporate environment stuck in the past, with a culture they call “The Dish Way” that is as archaic as it gets. Working here feels like being in a prison, where you’re penalized for the most trivial things. Discrimination is rampant, and upper management acts like they are gods, instilling fear in employees at every level. The way management operates reeks of corruption, making the whole experience even more unbearable. For your own mental health, I strongly recommend avoiding this place.

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.
