Too Many Egos, Not Enough Leaders

Pros

People. As many have stated prior, there are some very talented, dedicated, and generally good people. There is an opportunity to gain experience and responsibility beyond your pay grade.

Cons

Micromanagement - every level below VP Manage to spreadsheets and conflicting reports - too reactionary, not enough technology to help the field. Too much busy work - field offices should concentrate on delivering the proper customer experience and technician development. Current audit process is counter productive. Too many "know it alls" - leadership is weak on mentoring, leading, and team building. Heavy on ego and justifying their jobs. Work/Life Balance - you'll hear it mentioned as being important but don't attempt to practice it. You may be perceived as not having pride in your work or being committed. Benefits and pay. Although, if the environment was better I'm sure most wouldn't bat an eye at the compensation package. Too many threats of losing employment; not enough action to build a winning team.

Pros

Road trips pay was the only reason to hang onto the job. Micro management by management that really have no in the feild experience.

Cons

Finish your route for the day, get handed another route. Very typical to have 12 -16 hour days. If you refuse the added routes, you can be termed. Usually make you work in adverse weather conditions. Backstabbing part of the job. Trust no one!

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!
