Lots of earning potential for top performers

Pros

There's a lot of money to be made if you're good at your role. HR isn't great at all, and off-site. Attendance is extremely strict, and you can be let go for any number of reasons, including policy violations for first time violations. Managers are overworked and, unless you're performing well, can't go to bat for you because they don't have the time. Turnover is extremely high due to stress and the above. Brutal 6-week training before you can earn any real money, and it will realistically be about 3-4 months before you get the hang of things.

Cons

Lots of gray area surrounding policy 4-10's but it's a pretty brutal work day, the way to really earn is working your day off

DISH Response

We are pleased to see that our performance-based earning potential is a highlight for you, as we strive to reward the hard work and dedication of our top performers. At the same time, we recognize that the intensity of our training program and the demands of a four-day work week can be significant, particularly during the initial months on the job. Hearing about your experience with our management support and policy enforcement is helpful, as we are committed to fostering a more balanced and supportive environment for all employees, regardless of their tenure. Our goal is to ensure our teams feel equipped to succeed without feeling overwhelmed, and we value the feedback regarding how our internal structures impact your day-to-day stress levels.

Pros

Decent humans to work with. "OK" bonus pay is achievable.

Cons

Too many obscure QA rules. Systems are terrible putting a lot of potential mistakes in your lap when they should follow their own policies and procedures. PTO policy also sucks. Senior management rating is referencing C-Suite and VPs/directors.
