Pros

The good: benefits are fair, looks good on a resume, if you can make it 2 years you can get a job anywhere, chance to work directly with high level execs (CMO, SVPs, ect.)

Cons

DISH Network is one of the worst places I have worked. The culture is very tough, management only tells you what you are doing wrong and you are required to work 42.5 hours a week. The good: benefits are fair, looks good on a resume, if you can make it 2 years you can get a job anywhere, chance to work directly with high level execs (CMO, SVPs, ect.) The bad: thrown into the fire with no training and when things go wrong you are blamed/ made to look incompetent, manager meetings every week that are anything but productive/ only telling you what you are doing wrong and not offering any advice, working 10+ hours a day with no recognition, being legitimately KICKED under the table by a manager in meeting with CMO, no severance for 3,000+ employees laid off due to COVID even though DISH boasts about their billion dollars of free cash flow All in all, I am happy DISH laid me off. I was not happy and worked my butt off with no recognition except from my peers. DISH needs to reevaluate their culture and policies to match the demands of employees in 2020. I would reconsider any offer you receive and ask hard questions during your interview.
