Bloomberg Business Review said it best...."Meanest Company in America"

Pros

Some good people to work with.

Cons

Talent Planning is alive and well. Everyone must rate on a Bell Curve. Completely unfair appraisals. Someone will be put into the top and bottom 10%, whether they deserve it or not, the rest of your peers will get an average review. The worst part was people removed "without cause". Quarterly reviews are glaring....then, at your annual review, you get a "does not meet standards", backed up by nothing, to meet Talent Planning numbers for the year. What this means: supervisors try to rate fairly, while senior executives, "calibrate" people out of the company to trim the budget every year. The only issue there....if you're not a senior executive, you will be let go without warning. You can be cut at any time for any reason. Learn from experience....don't work here. DISH Culture = Work yourself to death...for no overtime and no promotion opportunity.

Pros

Ok pay, benefits, tuition reimbursement. Some room for advancement. I started at call center and advanced to corporate. Once a corporate employee they have core hours where u can pick if you want to work between 7 and 9 and just have to do your 8 hours.

Cons

High turn over. Company is very cheap and dont value their employees. They would rather hire someone new and pay them less then to develop you. Heard of people being walked out the door for reasons that didnt make sense and those people received unemployment. im constantly scared of loosing my job because if a new manager comes in and they dont like you they will find a way.

Pros

Paycheck. It is under market by 15%...but it doesn't bounce. This is a plus. The secret police that is called HR needs to have a revamp at the Director level and one step below.

Cons

No matter what your background may be, the officers of the company will interrupt you during a presentation and not LISTEN to what you know inside and out. Employees certainly appreciate the fact that you have tenure and you have paid your dues. However, you are not that smart and don't always have all the answers. Operations officers should be understand this already. Stop interrupting and listen. I think there is a new talent planning or management program here (home grown) that addresses your need to be present and listen/engage/pay attention.
