DISH reviews

Dish is an old school company that is struggling to stay relevant. Dish recently became a wireless company and that is where all the focus is now. I would not join the Dish or Sling parts of the business because they have no real direction anymore and no one in leadership really cares about these parts of the business. The biggest con though is how Dish treats employees. Since the start of this year Dish has faced unprecedented turnover because to put it simply, no one wants to work here anymore. Dish has always treated employees like children with badge reports that get sent up to leadership if you clock in past 9am (at corporate) and having 20% of your yearly performance appraisal based on how much you fit into company culture which as a leader I can tell you amounts to how many hours you’re in the building and how much senior leadership likes you. Dish forced employees back after COVID way before most companies with little regard to safety or employee’s concerns and has refused to consider permanent work from home or hybrid schedules. Because of this and so many other things we are losing employees daily. Company response has been that anyone leaving is a “poor culture fit” which is Dish’s response to any opinion they disagree with. Overall Dish is a toxic place filled with gossip and politics where senior leadership asks for lots of feedback but will in fact make zero changes unless it involves more free snacks. Dish may seem like a good place to grow a career but it will crush your spirit if you stay too long.

- Nepotism-unqualified people take sr manager roles simply because they’re related to Charlie. In turn, they hire other unqualified leaders ie managers w/unrelated backgrounds or w/numerous HR violations. - lack of communication, accountability, and transparency are masked as “start up environment” - Daily COVID infections announced by HR - Merit increases and promotions were withheld during COVID even though Charlie increased his net worth by $4B from March to July according to Forbes data - Promotions are withheld if employees refuse to work in the office because they’re high risk for COVID “we won’t promote you if don’t come back to work in the office” - They state that “opportunity is their biggest benefit” but leadership is verbally abusive and demoralizing when employees express interests in other paths - “what makes you think you’re qualified to do that?” “We won’t incentivize internal movement just because people are unhappy on this team” - Recognition and advancement opportunities aren’t based on performance, they’re based on who clicks w/the managers. Heavy boys club environment. - High turnover - 15 people have quit on this team in less than 1 year - Outdated employment practices - hiring process requires references and college transcripts regardless of experience. The best candidates aren’t getting hired - the candidates who make it through that outdated process do. Gosh forbid you got a C in college 20 years ago. High lack of empathy for candidates and hiring needs. - Company culture is cult like - used against employees and candidates whenever it fits their narrative best - Salaries and benefits are below market standards
