Pros

In Texas dish will start you a few cents above minimum but within a year or two you could be making a few dollars more per hour if apply and are picked for a business ops.

Cons

There are really to many reasons to list not to work here, so I'll start with the most important. The medical insurance is horrible they pick the cheapest plan they can to offer there emplyees cost wise on there part. The insurance literally will not pay anything until you hit a 3000 dollar deductible all while still deducting priemiums biweeky from my pay check. Job security is completely out the door, dishnetwork practically threatens you to preform or you will be termed. The attrition rate has to be one of the worst in the country. They like to recruit high school students before they get any other type of job experience. This way they don't realize just how bad dish is because they have nothing to compare it to. They will use the best years of your life and spit you out when you can no longer preform as you get older. I cannot and will not ever recommend anybody to work for dish until they change there ways
