The only good thing about Dish is that there is typically overtime

Inconvénients

So many breakdowns in privacy regulation regarding employees, too many bosses and supervisors with too few employees thanks to a never change 6 month turn around rate or employees who get so fed up they will use all their PDOs and sick days ( only added recently as it became required by law). They offer incentives for selling only and those are usually only coming from the networks whose channels they provide. Meanwhile it seems to work for them because there is always a steady supply of fresh meat for the grinder to replace people and people are regularly removed or get so tired of how they are being treated by Coaches, Sups, etc that they just leave within the first months. The benefits are only good if you want to avoid paying a penalty for not having any health insurance per the recent law changes. Otherwise they don't cover much and you'll end up paying about the same as a down payment on a car before they start to cover anything. Comprehensive ? More like reprehensible. As for your other coworkers, most are will to talk behind each others backs and make things up if it means getting to be off the phones long enough for a chance to possibly be made Team Lead or Coach. So if you have to work here, avoid the chatter. As for QA they tend to give pass/fails as they please depending on who they are friends with and who they dislike. Hmm what else ? Keep your head down, don't be friendly, just do your work and don't stop applying for other work EVER!

Avantages

Good middle management and compensation. Lots of opportunities to learn from plenty of smart people.

Inconvénients

Disclaimer -This is all water cooler hearsay and opinion. During the two years I was there the bill came due on being penny wise and dollar dumb over the years. A great example is Sling. Dish beat basically everyone to market but Netflix with streaming and was the first platform to offer live TV via stream (which YouTube TV still uses as a selling point). What happened? Dish paid the original engineers to build it and then balked at paying them to document and maintain it. Same deal with the cyber security team. After years of expecting security engineers to do exceptional work shorthanded for middling compensation eventually they had none. It was all put on the security manager, who had a heart attack after repeatedly requesting support. He understandably did not return. Not much later one of the core systems was ransomed, and the company fell out of the fortune 500. Despite being in the middle of dealing with the consequences of those decisions leadership was doing it all again with the mobile network build out.

Hearing that you found value in our middle management and compensation, as well as the chance to learn from the talented individuals on our teams, is encouraging. We appreciate you recognizing those aspects of your time with us. On the other hand, the historical context and concerns you shared regarding executive decision-making, infrastructure maintenance, and resource allocation are deeply concerning. Maintaining a stable, secure, and well-supported environment for our workforce is of the utmost importance, and we take feedback regarding employee well-being and operational decisions seriously. We are continually working to strengthen our operations and better support our teams across all business units. Because this review references a sensitive medical situation alongside organizational challenges, we would welcome the opportunity to hear more about your perspective.
