Pros

- Quality peer employees who are friendly - You can learn a ton on the job (mostly trial by fire because they don't want to hire someone who already knows the skill and will expect more compensation)

Cons

- Toxic Management - prepare to feel belittled, disrespected, and like a number unless of course you're one of the boys - Impossible Deadlines - 45 Hours minimum in office or you get reprimanded - Micromanagement - No WFH Work Remote - Health Insurance is expensive and bad - 401K Doesn't vest until 5 years - So many people leave that it is impossible to get a long-term cross department project done in a reasonable amount of time - Terrible Managers are allowed to stay because they are the only people who are willing to tolerate the environment and not based on their ability to motivate and inspire their direct reports - Repeatedly assigned projects with absurd deadlines or outcomes and solutions were slapped together to please leadership because everyone is too scared to look bad and get yelled at

Pros

- Fast-paced work environment; sink or swim for some, fake it til you make it for most - Insight into a Fortune 200 company turned failing, aging technology firm struggling to adapt - Working with Google, Walmart, and Amazon was interesting - A curiously simple entry into Business Intelligence

Cons

- Field Partners are mostly ignorant of business analytics by design - It's practically Game of Thrones meets The Office in real life - Employees constantly operate in fear of losing their jobs - Unwritten rules exist, i.e., must work 50hrs promotion consideration, must come in before 8a, must stay later or work weekends - DISH is not a remote business until it is hacked and management asks you to use personal devices for business purposes on a compromised network - Management keeps score as well as I did for this review

Pros

I struggle to find anything positive to say

Cons

they micromanage every word you say on the phone, every minute of when you clock in, clock out, take your breaks, and more. Furthermore, they pushed us so hard to the point of frustrating people to tears on the line with us, to keep them from canceling an outdated antiquated service when people wanted to go for streaming instead. The management have no life experience and no management experience, and the amount of nepotism and petty behavior amongst these children managers was bitter, scorekeeping, chastising, power-play games, and massively stressful and unhealthy. senior managers are very stressed to make numbers and that rolls downhill exponentially. I had to check in with my manager with each rejection the customer would want to legitimately put forward when trying to put that customer onto a new contract. Furthermore, there are individual agents that cheat the system with the help of management to make excessive amounts of money. There was a lot of drug use, sabotaging, under the table favors and more. It was a very toxic environment. The turnover rate was somewhere close to about 80 or 90% within the first two months for agents. And very understandably.
