Pluspunten

Sometimes if you make friends with the sales floor, you can take their left-over, melted, extra ice cream blizzards from DQ that they get for rewards. Also the kitchen staff was pretty snarky which was a nice relief after the rigidity and strictness of all the managers.

Minpunten

Negative culture. High turnover. They do not value nor appreciate their employees. If you have a good idea, like how to improve a process, you're better off keeping it to yourself- nothing will ever get changed. Very separated departments even though everything is crammed into one building. You sit in a cube farm right next to your coworkers, but get in trouble for conversing with them, or laughing. I made friends with a coworker and they immediately switched our desks -fun suckers. I was repeatedly reprimanded for sitting at my desk with my heels off of my feet. BTW - you are expected to dress business professional although you NEVER will see someone outside of the company, literally just sit on the phone all day. Half the other people in the building do the same exact thing (sit on the phone all day) and get to wear jeans and pjs and hoodies. I asked for new supplies that I used to do my job every single day, and a week later had a used notebook literally thrown onto my desk with the advice to "make it last". Management is cowardly. My job could have been done by a robot, the only thing that mattered was the numbers I hit. It did not matter what quality of people I passed on in the hiring process, only if I was able to fill the center's training classes so that managers could hit their bonuses. I had someone tell me they were "an ahole" during an interview and after I tried to reject them from the process, my boss told me to instead send them through. They will literally hire ANYONE that applies for the call centers because they are so desperate to get their petty bonuses. Poorly run company. But it doesn't matter because the jobs are so menial, anyone can do them. There are several very obvious reasons that Dish is consistently rated the number one worst company to work for.

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.
