Pros
the people I worked with were awesome but that only goes so far.
Cons
To whoever is reading this, this is where you go to die. Benefits, compensation, career advancement, work-life balance, opportunity, and anything else you can think of was non-existent at dish network. I was brought on at a fairly low pay and ran with it because I was promised growth opportunities. Every time a raise came around, I would get shafted due to he same old saying "the company is in a rough spot and we don't have budget". I had 3 managers try to hire me on their team due to my work ethic and this was a growth opportunity for me but I was blocked by my director due to my current team not having enough staff and my value to the current team. They are cutting positions left and right and letting go of their best employees. They are keeping the seat-warming employees around because they are paying them fairly low and it helps them save money that way. Charlie, the CEO, has this saying: Spend money like its your own, and that is where everything goes wrong as he takes it to seriously. With dish wireless launching end of this year (if they meet that deadline) they are cutting head count, shafting people on pay raises, and having staff work weekends to meet the deadline which is not going so well. I even had our own HR rep in my exit interview tell me that the company is in a rough spot with budget and all which is why I did not get a pay raise or a career growth opportunity, which is not a good excuse at all.If you want to work at an environment where you will be rewarded for your hard work and have a decent work\life balance, please stay away from dish as that is not their priority. 95% of the jobs here are dead end and allow no internal advancement.
