Pros

-DISH is a company willing to take on risks and make pivots as needed to remain a leading company. This can be exciting and brings many new and challenging projects to work on. -Depending on the team and management of your group, you can have lots of direct ownership and impact on your projects. -DISH has significantly improved customer relations and have won JD Power among all Telecom. companies for 3 years running.

Cons

-C-Suite leadership is very controlling of all financial decisions including hiring (even for entry level positions). DISH can be THE example of bureaucratic challenges stemming from our senior leaders. -If you care about flexible working locations/hours, look elsewhere. DISH is stuck in the 80's with our in-office policies and overall lack of trust in the employee to accomplish the work without corporate oversight. -Overall, the C-Suite views most employees as cogs in the system. HR claims to care about employees but most actions make it abundantly clear that on the whole, we're viewed as cogs that can easily be replaced if needed.

Pros

If you are willing to work well beyond a normal amount, they will reward you with promotions fairly frequently.

Cons

This company does not care about diversity and inclusion at all, they have a management team that's almost entirely cis white men. They also laid off several thousand people this year and still expect the same volume of work to be completed. This leaves the remaining employees performing the jobs of 3+ people, with no changes to pay or title. I would highly recommend seeking employment elsewhere, unless you're a recent college graduate and want to climb a corporate ladder quickly. Or if you're an older white man who misses the corporate culture from the '80s. If either of these don't sound like you, look toward the hundreds of other Denver employers who treat their employees with more respect and humanity.

Pros

You get an opportunity to work beyond your role.

Cons

The only person who is able to make any decisions is the Chairman. He says jump and everyone else says how high even if everyone knows it's not a good idea. The pay is extremely low for the amount of work expected out of someone and the benefits are terrible.
