Pros

The projects are very task oriented and the teams are great. The work pressure is to a nominal extent and as an Intern you get a lot to learn and implement. Overall, it was an amazing experience.

Cons

I don't think there are any cons but one need to work a lot to survive

Pros

Good for those with a dales background who like working with their hands. Dish had begun to make their technicians into salesman

Cons

Constant presume to sale. They tell you to not be pushy salesman but yet give you all kinds of quotas

Pros

Job security is great. You have to really mess something up to get fired.

Cons

Think of this place like an inflatable obstacle course. It is easy to get in but once you're in, they throw everything at you to prevent you from getting promoted. Promotions are handed not on merit but everything else. If you play the political game hard, you can probably advance but then you turn into a politician and we all know they all suck. The job security is also somewhat of a drawback. Sure, you probably won't get fired but that means all the terrible employees that cause more work are kept.
