      Pros

      The benefits are excellent, the managers are extremely considerate, there are great performance based pay incentives, four days on three days off. Your pretty much on your own, no one breathing down your neck all day. Paid training. You can easily track your performance, success, and rate of growth. You get to meet new and interesting people everyday. You get tips( i average $60 a week in tips).

      Cons

      Dish techs are required to work 365 days a year. long, hard hours in cramped spaces, wet spaces, and dirt and insulation filled places. Hazardous working conditions. Often days without breakfast or lunch. Equipment that takes hours to install fails often.

      Surprisingly Inefficient

      Pros

      Best reasons to work at Dish are the name recognition the company has - good resume builder. Also, because turnover is so high if you can tolerate the culture have potential to get promoted faster than would at other Fortune 500's.

      Cons

      Culture requires overtime but there is no reward for it. Working 50-60 hours a week is considered normal and not appreciated. Not appropriate to question existing systems as feedback from lower level employees is not desired. Senior management is involved in some ethically questionable practices and is very condescending to lower level employees. Not abnormal to hear management curse at employees.
