Good pay, Be your own boss, Under the Dish Network Umbrella. Yearly incentive trips

If customers do not stay active for one year you are charged back all incentives. No feedback from Corporate when employees are dishonest so you can terminate those employes. hard to compete with Fiber and streaming services.
