Pros

Opportunities to work out of your home are great. Company tools and vehicle along with a phone. Paid training really makes you feel like you are not a number. Free programming,(which seems like it would be understood, considering it costs them nothing to give it too you.)

Cons

Pay is lower than expected ($13.00) for very demanding work as well as being the "Face" of the company. Insurance benefits are terrible for families ($5000 deductible) before anything is covered. Retirement with Fidelity but not much of a contribution from DISH. Corporate addresses questions publicly about technical issues but wants to hide behind closed doors when talking about lack of insurance or problems with scoring systems that effect pay (PI Scores) The illusion of a company that cares.

Pros

Able to work on your own without having somebody follow you around telling you what to do. When you do a good job, customer's usually notice and are thankful. Most of the techs stand up for each other and are willing to help each other out when needed. They don't need to be forced into helping by management.

Cons

Long hours, never know if you are done or not. Extra jobs are pushed on you at the end of the day with little or no compensation or thanks. Quality metrics used to be a good idea and helped weed out poor techs, but in the end as usual, DISH used the metrics to make the jobs harder, and to give them excuses to fire people whether deserved or not. A technician should be allowed to diagnose and solve customer issues without having to worry about selling products to put more money in DISH's pocket.
