Pros

None. Small pockets of talented people that eventually leave for better jobs.

Cons

DISH is a cesspool from the top down. The founder is a clueless, narcissist who surrounds himself with "Yes Men", has to be the smartest person in the room, and runs the company like it is still 1990. It's a failing business, read the news about DISH, that can't/won't adapt its culture to modern workforce. Here is just a taste of the "DISH Way" -Badge Report: If you arrive at any location later than 8:59 am your supervisor and HR receive an email of your "tardiness" Weather and traffic are not an excuse for being late. The owner when asked during a company meeting, "What if we get hit with a snowstorm the night before or morning of a work day?" He suggested getting a hotel room near the office and didn't mention expensing it. Yes, that really happened. -Typical "Office Space" work culture. Have you seen the movie Office Space? That's DISH. No real culture just a sad phrase that's supposed to drive you to do your best, "The DISH Way". It means nothing and is constantly used to gaslight employees into drinking the Kool-Aid -You are an employee number and nothing more. The turnover is ridiculous. HR will say it's due to the large volume of call center employees that quit, but corporate loses many amazing people regularly because of how inept and executive-focused the company is run. - Pay can be enticing depending on the position, but it's not worth the pain and suffering of the work. The benefits are sub-par and if you plan on having a family their maternity/paternity leave is non-existent. Health insurance plans are weak. Their big sell is investing in stock with the company. Check their stock prices, not a good financial move. Overall DISH and its partner companies lack organization, true leaders and the proper staffing to be successful. As long as the owner/founder helms the ship this company from the top down will not be successful no matter how much they spin potential new hires on the "opportunity" to be part of something great. Avoid at all costs.
