Pluspunten

The only pros here are that you probably won't feel so bad about leaving this company if you've worked as a CSR

Minpunten

Bad company culture. Lots of backbiting. Bonuses are constantly taken away. Turn around rate is 6 months. Benefits are bad enough that for example, you only take the insurance (the cheaper one) so that you don't have to pay the government a penalty for not having any because it really doesn't cover much. HR reps are pretty much clueless. 401k is useless because you don't even get to bank on that unless you've spent 2 years there...and though I'm still there..most don't make it past the 6 month turn around, so they're always hiring. Coaches and whatnot usually were there about when the center went up and most of them couldn't even meet the metrics they're being told by corporate that their teams have to meet. They push you to sell even if it wasn't originally in your job description (before they changed it) and the change they give you for it is not worthwhile. Meawhile they keep piling on different job positions onto your job position, so far it is : Loyalty/Retention, Technical Support and Billing all rolled into one (not even counting the sales pressure for this non-sales position).

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.
