Pluspunten

Made new friends. Was a paycheck until I found somewhere else to work.

Minpunten

Upper Management is out of touch with what is going on in the company. Mass firings quarterly. Does not allow to finish last 2 weeks of employment. "Accepts immediately" without paying out 2 weeks. Mandatory overtime on your day off at least 1x per month every month. No way to move up in the company unless you are best friends with management. Promised promotions from direct supervisor are withdrawn by general manager because they don't like you. Sexual harassment and political talk are not disciplined. If your supervisor continuously refuses to give you work to do, it's your fault and you get reprimanded. Going to H.R. voicing concerns results in you getting punished. Voicing concerns about supervisors behavior to general managers is ignored, and you are punished instead. Seniority, work ethic, and experience don't matter. It's who you are best friends with and brown-nose to. FMLA employees are forced to be converted to hourly-paid employees. Employees forced to work overnight to finish projects with unrealistic deadlines. Many employees don't go home at night. Pay is not competitive. Much lower than equivalent positions elsewhere. Health insurance is a joke. Extremely high out of pocket expenses and very little coverage. Causes employees to file for bankruptcy due to medical costs. You are fired if you badge in after 8:55 am or before 4:05 pm, no matter how many hours you worked that day. Unwilling to work around doctor appointments, school appointments, or anything else that life throws at you. Required to drive in dangerous conditions to get to work. Was told by CEO to get a hotel room when it snows to make sure you get to work on time. Salary employees are not permitted to take breaks. Only an unpaid lunch break is allowed. Management has bias and does not treat employees equally. Unprofessional work ethic. Requires you to wear bandages covering piercings and tattoos. Unfair dress code. Also does not apply to "sexy/beautiful" people.

Pluspunten

Good middle management and compensation. Lots of opportunities to learn from plenty of smart people.

Minpunten

Disclaimer -This is all water cooler hearsay and opinion. During the two years I was there the bill came due on being penny wise and dollar dumb over the years. A great example is Sling. Dish beat basically everyone to market but Netflix with streaming and was the first platform to offer live TV via stream (which YouTube TV still uses as a selling point). What happened? Dish paid the original engineers to build it and then balked at paying them to document and maintain it. Same deal with the cyber security team. After years of expecting security engineers to do exceptional work shorthanded for middling compensation eventually they had none. It was all put on the security manager, who had a heart attack after repeatedly requesting support. He understandably did not return. Not much later one of the core systems was ransomed, and the company fell out of the fortune 500. Despite being in the middle of dealing with the consequences of those decisions leadership was doing it all again with the mobile network build out.

Hearing that you found value in our middle management and compensation, as well as the chance to learn from the talented individuals on our teams, is encouraging. We appreciate you recognizing those aspects of your time with us. On the other hand, the historical context and concerns you shared regarding executive decision-making, infrastructure maintenance, and resource allocation are deeply concerning. Maintaining a stable, secure, and well-supported environment for our workforce is of the utmost importance, and we take feedback regarding employee well-being and operational decisions seriously. We are continually working to strengthen our operations and better support our teams across all business units. Because this review references a sensitive medical situation alongside organizational challenges, we would welcome the opportunity to hear more about your perspective. Please consider reaching out to our team directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can learn more.
