Pros

Knowledge of satellites to tv programming and learning how to figure out installation ideas on a min. notice.

Cons

The company is so horrible to their workers that I have never so many people quiting. There is a huge lack of communication in this company. This is not the military, this is a customer service company! If the company treats you, the employee, like a grunt, then more than likely will treat the customer the same way. It is a negative and very uncaring company. It is a shame cause there is so much potential for this company if it would focus on making the employees not feel like slaves.

Pros

My paycheck never bounced. Other than that, I did not see much upside to dish network once I started working there.

Cons

Computers, chairs, and desks were frequently broken, managers were made to constantly push reps off of phone calls instead of helping the customers to keep "call handle times" low and keep bonuses up. Constant change in personnel, philosophy, and such made low/mid managers out to be liers a lot and bonuses/schedules messed up. My whole training class was promised certain raises and bonuses when we were hired, but never saw a dime. Overall, the company prides themselves on being cheap.
