Pros

Similar to a sales job where you collect commission for every customer you save.

Cons

All customers are calling with the intention of cancelling, so saving them is hard and this causes demerits for your role.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback we really appreciate it. We know retention can feel a lot like sales, especially when most of the calls come from customers looking to cancel. It’s a tough job that takes strong communication and problem-solving skills. We're always looking for ways to better support the team and improve the experience for both employees and customers. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

Literally nothing the pay sucks for what you do Discount on Dish and Boost mobile if your into that

Cons

They expect way too much of their technicians. Would be a decent job if metrics and sales weren’t a requirement. Terrible benefits and zero commission if your gonna enter a sales job there is way better options where you’ll actually earn more for selling products. 5am start time very toxic environment. Pretty straightforward interview process this is a dying company so they off load the sales part of the job onto the technicians which I don’t understand. They don’t out right say it in the interview but your expected to sell these terrible products. On top of installing the dish, running cable, climbing on roofs, and dealing with ornery seniors and foreigners who barely speak English. Seriously the only people who buy dish are old and don’t understand streaming or people who need international channels. They expect you to complete the job which could take hours and in the end bring in a sound bar to demo for people who obviously don’t need or want it. Stay far away from dish.
