Pros

Having a Job in this market.

Cons

Daily beyond unrealistic expectations. You have to be perfect to meet expectations. Upper management does not live in 2025 they live in the 80s or 90s with archaic practices. Micro management. A culture of doesn’t matter what happens in your day you are expected to fix it. Customers getting upset that Verizon cut their wires and they put a call back in is your fault and will effect your bonus. Constantly adding work that detracts from your daily activities and bonuses then blaming you for you not getting a bonus.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your candid feedback. It is valuable to us, especially during this period of economic change. We aim for our performance expectations to be challenging yet achievable, and we are concerned to hear that you feel they are unrealistic and require perfection. We consistently review our metrics and management practices to ensure they are fair, relevant, and supportive of our employees' success. We apologize if any of our processes feel outdated; we are committed to modernizing our operational approaches to be competitive and effective in today's business landscape. It sounds like there are significant concerns regarding micromanagement and being held accountable for issues outside of your control, particularly those affecting customer calls and bonus structure. We take this very seriously, as our goal is to foster a culture where employees feel supported, trusted, and fairly rewarded for their direct efforts.

Pros

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Cons

They don’t provide any equipment aside from the computer itself. They mislead you during the interview and job description. You are paid according to price of product sold and close rate however it’s all inbound calls and you can not call back. The inbound calls are lousy, people who don’t even have a $1 on a card in order to do the eligibility check, or no card at all.. poor credit which leads to higher out of pocket costs. I think only a handful of times I couldn’t overcome the spousal objection or the just shopping objection. Those I will take responsibility for but if I’m getting calls from people who don’t have a card or don’t have a $ or don’t have the money to put down OR already have an account or is a mis-transfer or were passed along because the technicians have to make referrals even though the customer isn’t actually interested in the product yet the tech makes them still call.. that’s crap and it’s not real sales.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective with us. Hearing about your day-to-day reality in sales—from lead quality to equipment needs—is incredibly valuable as we continuously work to refine our internal processes and onboarding experience. While we are glad you enjoyed the flexibility of working from home, it is disheartening to learn that you felt misled by our initial job description and interview process. We want to ensure our teams feel properly supported and equipped to succeed in their roles. Our People Operations team would welcome the opportunity to dive deeper into your feedback regarding our commission structures and lead generation systems. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can better understand your specific situation. Thank you again for your candor in this situation.
