      Pros

      There are great opportunities to develop new skills at DISH Network. It is a very fast-paced company that enables an employee to determine a career path for him/herself. DISH Network is also an Equal Opportunity environment and does not discriminate based on race, religion or sexual preference.

      Cons

      It's well-known throughout the industry that CEO Charlie Ergan is frugal. What is less well-known is the extent to which this frugality is passed on to his employees. Wages in the corporate HQ are significantly lower than market average, the medical benefits package is laughable and average merit increases rarely compensate for cost of living increases. Even while publicly stating that the company has "never done lay-offs", attendance and performance policies are tightened, enabling the company to reduce headcount without the need to provide severance. This has created an environment in which the rank & file is in constant fear for their jobs, and in which managerial abuse can thrive.

      Pros

      Good pay, hours and benefits. Love the work and the atmosphere. Training is great and work/life is well balanced. Enkoy travelling to neighboring cities and paid drive time. Management comes from within so they know the job and help keep you motivated. Overtime is a plus. Company pays for tools, van, training and drive time. Never have to skip a lunch or break for customer service. You are your own boss, and your work directly affects your pay. The better job you do, the more you make. Incentive pay is great. Don't have to rely on any other employees to meet your goals. No sales quotas.

      Cons

      Never know when you will get off, have to wake up at 5am to get to work by 6:30am.
