Pros

The work can be enjoyable if you like to be out of an office working with your hands. You get to meet some cool customers every now and then. Good customer service experience and good experience in the communications field.

Cons

Everything is micro managed now. I mean everything! Everyday you are pressured to sell items and extra services. We use to be techs, now we are techs and sells men. The " incentive" programs are not incentives or goals anymore. You better hit your almost unachievable numbers(which some are based on luck, for instance if your customer at the time doesn't have broadband it will effect your connectivy score) , or else you will get talked to, put on a progression plan, or writen up.. Christmas parties, end of the year parties , LONG GONE. You are just a number to the company. Period. Health benefits are bad. Might as well not even have the companies provided health benefits. They use to be good.

Pros

• One could make a decent dollar if you work massive overtime AND you're fantastic at what you do. • No real skill is needed.

Cons

• Management has NO clue regarding professionalism, labor laws, psychology behind sales... • If you don't lie and cheat your customers, you can't really earn much money. • Dish constantly lies to it's employees and care nothing about you whatsoever. • They promise to pay you if you sell a particular item and will take to offer away without telling you. Therefore you would be selling a product for months and not realize the fact they are no longer paying you for it. Their response is simply, "We aren't paying for that any more". • They DEMAND that you work 8-12 hrs overtime and they only pay you a measly $3.33/hr for it. • They work hard to figure out ways to take away your commission. They have many methods. You could literally take home 50% of the commission that you earned fair and square just by having a close rate of less than 25%. • Dish constantly moves the finish line in the middle of the race...anything to take your money. They change the close rate expectation.... • They take money out of your pocket if the customer changes their mind during installation (or soon after) while at the same time, they encourage and reward the the installers to upgrade the customer. That not only goes for equipment upgrades but they will take your commission away if the customer downgrades equipment, changes programming options or adds/subtracts promotions. •••••There are many more issues and not enough time.....
