Pros

Good for those with a dales background who like working with their hands. Dish had begun to make their technicians into salesman

Cons

Constant presume to sale. They tell you to not be pushy salesman but yet give you all kinds of quotas

Pros

There is slight flexibility where a big deal is not made if you come in at 9:05am instead of 9am sharp. Co-workers are nice to work with.

Cons

There is a lack of communication. It seems that no one knows what's truly going on because they do not talk to each other. It seems like it's a company run on fear tactics. The medical and dental benefits are a high deductible. If you ask for a needed software or an office supply you get push back on it.

Pros

Very nice employees. Great managers. Fun atmosphere. Everyone has a sense of humor. Training is paced at how fast you learn.

Cons

Ridiculous amount of things to learn. Many acronyms and other abstract terms. Loads of numbers to memorize.
