Pros

Nice building with a good location.

Cons

Working at Dish is like being back in elementary school. You get treated like you are a child and monitored as such as well. People are hired to do a job but then there is so much red tape and hierarchy that you cannot even do the job you were hired to do. The benefits are TERRIBLE and costly with the family out of pocket max being 11K. The max amount of time off that you can get here is 3 weeks and that is after 5 years of employment. That is it 3 weeks. No telecommuting opportunities and all employees must be in the building no later than 9:00am. Even if you had been traveling for business and your flight gets in at 10:00pm, still better be in by 9:00am. See like I said it is like being in elementary school again.

While its not a terrible place to work promotions are nearly totally based on favoritism instead of work performance.

Pros

DISH has a clear career path for hourly associates. This allows for decent advancement opportunities for hourly employees. They also offer at least basic benefits and insurance as well.

Cons

After reaching a salaried position promotions are based on who likes you. If you are well liked by upper management you well be assigned very well performing teams and have plenty of chances for further advancement. However if you are not a favorite then you will be assigned poor teams (normally based on shifts, the better shifts attract the best performers.)

Great exposure, great experience

Pros

For the internship position, I was given a lot of responsibility and a lot of exposure to senior management. I was very impressed with the respect I was given by both normal and high-level employee, and really could not have asked for a better experience.

Cons

While I highly recommend the internship, the full-time position is not quite as rosy. Positions tend to be at the low end of the market average, with an inconsistent and subjective promotion schedule for employees. There is little opportunity to move up, mentorship is neglected, and the common view is that "if you want to move up in the company, join someone else for awhile and then come back."
