Pros

DISH goes above and beyond to be an inclusive, supportive employer that recognizes hard work and provides the skills and opportunities for career advancement. Regardless of the position, you are always surrounded by knowledgeable leaders that encourage growth and thinking outside the box. I take great pride in belonging to the DISH family.

Cons

The more lucrative positions and quicker career advancement tend to be at the Corporate Offices in Denver, CO.

Pros

-Good people, most are smart, but almost none are happy

Cons

-Failing company, constantly losing market share. Just look at SEC filings -Toxic leadership that's completely out of touch, especially Charlie -Weird time tracking system that makes it feel more like adult daycare -Mediocre benefits at best -No clear vision whatsoever -Extreme instability, avoid at all costs -5 days a week in office, with no flexibility -Not enough holidays/PTO -Employee data compromised by hackers; no real compensation for this -Constant turnover -Limited opportunity for advancement for an organization of its size as it avoids promotions to prevent increased salaries -Insanely bureaucratic structure which can make progress and workflows difficult (for example: rejecting use of excel for employees that need it) -Typical corporate nonsense and lies during all team meetings -Almost no employees actually believe in this company

Pros

Pay for relocation (only way they can get folks to come work there as the local reputation is terrible). Pay is pretty good but you'll pay for the extra money you make here vs. working somewhere else in other ways (i.e. your sanity).

Cons

Do not work here if you value being a professional and working with other professionals who act like mature adults. Do not work here if you like getting work done and adhering to industry and function best practices. Do not work here if you are an expert in your field and want to be treated as though you are an entry-level employee with no experience or knowledge. Do not work here if you don't like petty drama, intense office politics, favoritism and rampant sexism. Do not work here if you value your mental and physical health. Dish definitely doesn't care about it in the least. Do not work here if you're smart and want to make a good career decision. Trust me, whatever you think you're gaining, you'll be losing more.
