It's clear from your feedback that you've had a difficult and stressful experience, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share these candid thoughts. Hearing about your experience with the job has taken on you is something we take very seriously. We are truly glad that you were able to benefit from the work-from-home option and some schedule flexibility. We believe these are key components in supporting our team, and we're committed to preserving and enhancing these programs. We also value the recognition of our coaches who are striving to provide a positive experience. At the same time, we fully acknowledge your specific concerns regarding the pressure, metrics, and support for handling difficult customer interactions. It is never our intention to have employees feel unsupported or harassed, and we are continuously evaluating our policies and training to better assist our agents in these challenging situations. Your comments about the current PTO and sick leave policy and the specific bilingual pay structure are also critical feedback that we are absolutely reviewing to ensure our compensation and benefits packages are competitive and genuinely supportive of our team.

Pros

Good middle management and compensation. Lots of opportunities to learn from plenty of smart people.

Cons

Disclaimer -This is all water cooler hearsay and opinion. During the two years I was there the bill came due on being penny wise and dollar dumb over the years. A great example is Sling. Dish beat basically everyone to market but Netflix with streaming and was the first platform to offer live TV via stream (which YouTube TV still uses as a selling point). What happened? Dish paid the original engineers to build it and then balked at paying them to document and maintain it. Same deal with the cyber security team. After years of expecting security engineers to do exceptional work shorthanded for middling compensation eventually they had none. It was all put on the security manager, who had a heart attack after repeatedly requesting support. He understandably did not return. Not much later one of the core systems was ransomed, and the company fell out of the fortune 500. Despite being in the middle of dealing with the consequences of those decisions leadership was doing it all again with the mobile network build out.

Hearing that you found value in our middle management and compensation, as well as the chance to learn from the talented individuals on our teams, is encouraging. We appreciate you recognizing those aspects of your time with us. On the other hand, the historical context and concerns you shared regarding executive decision-making, infrastructure maintenance, and resource allocation are deeply concerning. Maintaining a stable, secure, and well-supported environment for our workforce is of the utmost importance, and we take feedback regarding employee well-being and operational decisions seriously. We are continually working to strengthen our operations and better support our teams across all business units. Because this review references a sensitive medical situation alongside organizational challenges, we would welcome the opportunity to hear more about your perspective. Please consider reaching out to our team directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can learn more.
