Pluspunten

You can make okay money here if you are willing to be beaten and abused verbally by customers every day over and over with no break in between. Management says they have an open door policy

Minpunten

After being hired they make you prove your employment by submitting to 3 tests. 2 of which are exam related, the 3rd is based on your close rate. You need a minimum of a 55% close rate to not be fired which is darn near impossible. Benefits are expensive They require 5 hours overtime minimum every week They ask you to spend money to save people but the more you spend the less commission you make. The base pay isn't high enough to justify the abuse required to do this job They monitor your every breath and every second of your life. They will milk you for everything you've got every day. Call after call of verbal abuse with not even a second to breathe in The industry is dying and streaming will eventually take over. So just know that in a couple of years your job will be gone. They have accounted for this by investing in slingtv. They realize that they're hiring people for a temporary position and address it in training. Work here at your own demise.

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.
