Sign on bonus is the only time you'll actually see money here. Don't fall for the 100k a year Kool-Ade that corporate will try to sell you. There are a few managers that will be honest about the grim job prospects and their own job search.

Management doesn't want to be there anymore than you do. Understand the nature of the job is angry customers. Everyone wants to cancel. The technology is outdated. You are paid by save rate, productivity, contract renewals and spend. The only customers you'll save are the people who have no other options for TV and call every year for 60 off the bill no contract. Even those customers are getting access to fiber and other high speed internet. If your customer cxls dish service in favor of dish streaming, it is not a save. Pricing tiers are out dated in the age of streaming. Dish knows this. They are here to bleed the paid tv customer dry while building up their 5g network. Dish does not care if the customer leaves, it's all extra money for them at this point. That being said, hitting metrics to make above the minimum wage is almost impossible, and if you start making money, the score card changes and never in your favor My training instructor believed in belittling students to the point of tears rather than offer actual training. Cesar has been with the company for years in spite of his lack of professionalism. Dish is very frat house. Get in with the boys and you'll at least not get dogged while making under minimum wage.

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.
