Pros

Could be interesting and challenging - opportunity to learn a lot

Cons

Most everything - no respect for employees; will try to get away with as much as possible, and give very minumum to keep employees. When economy improves, the company will bleed employees. The rapid changes, chaos and confusion gets tiring and wears on you.

Pros

Stable job, travel to different places within your area every day.

Cons

Poor management decisions starting from the CEO. No room for advancement within the company. Criteria for promotion is dependent upon too many variables that a technician has no control over (i.e. cancellations due to customer not wanting system after technician has arrived and cancellations due to customer being ill-informed about pricing.) Promotions are a very rare occurence within this branch.

Pros

GREAT PEOPLE TO WORK WITH

Cons

Upper Management steps over front line management there can be something that is requested for the technicians for months and never approved untill some high strung regional manager comes in and asks the techs what they need and poof these items are suddenly ordered making it look like front line management isnt doing anything. Upper management pushes out wright ups to technicians for not connecting phone lines to recievers without being able to verify if the resididence even has phone line. when front line managers object this upper management says you there manager own the wright up and issue it. Now front line management has a disgruntled workforce complaining to Human Resources and front line management gets there job threatened. For Dish Network its all about making profit and not giving anything in return. The company is more worried of the clenliness of the fleet than the quality of there installs. Management is underpaid for working from 6am to 10pm . Work is often repeated! Techs direct managers are required to audit techs tools twice a month then the magers manager has to conduct a tool audit on the same techs for no reason because if a tech is missing a tool Regional managers will not approve tool orders making the work a waste of time we can be growing techs instead of doing busy work. Do not work fr this company many are finding there way out as i will be soon!
