DISH reviews

As a former employee I have to say that it was a very unpleasant work environment. Fortunately, for me I was able to find other employment because of my education. During my employment with Dish it was turmoil over and over again. In all fairness I above anything else am a very humble person and in no way ever thought of myself superior to those who had less than me including education. Although my education did not come free nor was I spoiled nor considered myself lucky. Education is not about luck it’s about pursuing your goal no matter what comes your way and that goes for anything else. Though I was not the “self-proclaimed elite” I among others that started the same time I did went through some stuff we were being pushed aside like we didn’t matter, we were disrespected, and in some cases I know I had my few when I was humiliated in front of other employees. They were the ones' with the "napoleon complex" trying to prove that our education meant nothing there at Dish. When I complained and I went through the chain of command nothing got done. HR surprised me when they said I was the one with the problem though I had facts and witnesses. Soon after that myself and those that came to my aid became targets for retaliation. I knew at that moment that it was me against the mob. I don’t look down at others for not having an education; I look down at those who don’t have integrity and character. No, you don’t need a degree to be skilled and know your job but having one shows an employer who values hard work and education that the person with a degree has the persistence to overcome obstacles and has been exposed to ideas that can improve and advance an organization to remain competitive. My mom is a great Dr. in her own way but she does not have a medical degree do I look down at her of course not, I just won't let her operate on me if my life depended on it. Yes!!! I can imagine the "HORROR" of how things have been running at Dish, BECAUSE I EXPERIENCED THE "HORROR" and it was......GASPS!!!!! I have to agree with Gizmo, Dish in El Paso, has a bullying problem and bullies are those that lack the confidence, self-esteem and the intelligence. It’s no wonder many have gone astray even those who as soon as they obtained their education left Dish. Gizmo you’re right on target! Hope you get published.

Paid a salary, but laid off/promoted solely based on hours in the building (no, a walk or lunch on the patio is not considered in the building). This leads to some very bad management since people are only promoted based on hours in building, not performance. Also this promotes slowing down - no point in getting your work done efficiently when you have to be in the office all day anyway. Another con is benefits - there are none! Insurance sucks and is very very expensive. 401k does not get matched (okay, they give a very small capped max but it is vested so if you stay less than 5 years at the company you'll get almost nothing). Annual pay bumps? Haven't seen anything yet. Allowed to work remote? Never, unless you have a good manager, but all days off-site are tracked and used for layoffs. The rules keep getting stricter regarding remote work, preventing good managers from being flexible at all. Also, there are no perks of going to office, even though it's required - feels like jail, no amenities, no free snacks or drinks or other perks like that, hardly any meeting rooms so all meetings are virtual anyway, no gym, nothing at all really to make you want to be there.
