Pros

Dish has a dynamic atmosphere, is in an exciting industry, and has a very entrepreneurial spirit. Charlie and his wife founded the company and built it from the ground up and in this day and age (and especially this economy), it is nice to see them still involved. It has not been gobbled up into a huge media conglomerate either so there is plenty of room for growth.

Cons

Within the past 2 years it seems like there has been a continuous shuffling of executives and upper management. Our DNS Operations, Marketing and HR departments especially seem to have a hard time retaining good leaders. With Charlie at the helm we also suffer from low pay, stingy benefits, and a general feeling of being a commodity. It would be nice if executives could recognize the value of human capital.

Pros

A credit towards their services but if you quit your locked in to the 24 month commitment.

Cons

Continues to work employees six days a week and rarely allows employees to take a day off. The scheduling is very chaotic there are very few full time schedules that allow employees Saturday and Sunday consecutively off. Your success will be in the hands of the types of calls you receive and what type of person is rating your phone calls. Managers or so called coaches are hardly there for support, when customers ask to speak with management, supervisors try to makes excuses no to take the call.
