Pros

Working at DISH Network teaches you a lot in a short amount of time. You are able to work on a variety of different projects and gain exposure to many facets of the business. It is a large company, and is extremely faced paced.

Cons

There is little room for upward mobility unless someone above you vacates their position, and even then they often higher from outside the company. The salary is not equal to the work put into the job.

Pros

Good overall work/life balance. Most of the line managers (through VP) are competent and good people to work for. Charlie Ergen rules the place with an iron fist and unfortunately nobody stands up to him, no matter what he wants. Not that I can blame them as it is clear he wants "yes men" rather than people who may challenge his thinking and will fire the latter.

Cons

Senior management sees all employees as commodities. It is a very inflexible place to work. Fingerprint readers that time your time in the office even for management positions. No flexibility as to when you arrive/leave. Benefits and PTO are terrible.
