Pros

- Paycheck every 2 weeks that I work hard for - Co-workers are helpful in solving issues - Free snacks when the office has money for it - Discounted TV service - Free batteries and HDMI cables

Cons

- Technicians are now Salesmen - Overworked 5-6 days a week because Dish has Psychic's to predict future workload - Randomly fire employees to save money and make everyone have more work - No more yearly raises when they decide you make too much money - The performance metrics are based on stuff that is out of your control - Managed by fear of being fired at anytime for stuff that is out of your control - If you make too much money the company and managers will find a reason to fire you Dish and the managers here don't care about the technicians or customers anymore. It’s all about selling products that the customer doesn’t even need to make profits. So if you’re looking for a job and have experience in selling cars or Kirby vacuum cleaners, then this is the job for you. Everyone is now trying to jump off this sinking ship to go work somewhere else since the job is now focused on selling at least $15 or more of unneeded items to each customer. If you want a job here, I would recommend you get about 1 year of experience here then go apply for AT&T since they treat their employees better since they are Union. At Dish you are expected to do everything they want at the same pay while other companies will pay you extra to learn and do the additional skill. This is why a lot of us have already start a plan to Unionize this year to push some of this stuff back like the two Unionized Dish offices in Texas. CWA.
