Pros

Pay and Benefits were above average for my local market, but that does not reflect fair pay for the work environment, lack of work life balance nor job stress,

Cons

Antiquated Ridgid Policies, Out of Touch with Employees and Customers, Frequently implements new policies reactively and with minimal evaluation of their potential impact on productivity, workflow efficiency, or overall business performance. ATO is intended to provide relief from the stressful work environment while also helping offset business costs. Although it was presented as a universally available benefit, restrictions were applied inconsistently on a case-by-case basis without clear communication or review.

We appreciate you detailing both the positive aspects of our local market compensation and the operational frustrations you experienced. Knowing that the initial baseline for compensation and benefits met your expectations is helpful, but it is clear that the associated stress, lack of work-life balance, and application of time-off policies created a difficult work environment. Your extensive observations regarding reactive policy changes, workflow friction, and the need for more collaborative communication give us specific, actionable areas to consider. We want our policies to support, rather than hinder, our workforce and the customers they serve. Ensuring that internal feedback channels are meaningful and that accountability is balanced with flexibility is part of our commitment to continuous improvement. To ensure your observations are fully understood, we would welcome the chance to speak with you directly. Please consider reaching out to us at peopleoperations@dish.com to discuss your experience further.

Pros

Great perks, overtime available at times, great co workers and love helping customers

Cons

Customers yelling at you at 7am before you’ve had your morning coffee, some supervisors micromanaging, the fact that you have to promote promote promote even when customers flat out say no some supervisors want you to keep pushing and that’s honestly a problem for me, if they say no it’s no, we are not in the sales dept. I understand that their numbers are also important but sometimes the pressure is too much, so much so that sometimes I just feel like getting another job if I’m being honest, and I honestly love it but some supervisors do too much, we not only have advanced tech but starlink customers that we have to help, we have a certain time limit for starlink and agents offering starlink to customers then saying” you can call to cancel tomorrow” adds more pressure because now they don’t want you to assist the customer in cancelling now it’s just tickets, tickets is not enough for customers they want a solution not some ticket that’s not going to get them a resolution in a timely manner.
