Pros
5 hour energy is only $2.75 in the vending machine and it takes credit cards!! So if you have a love for energy but only have a credit card.... Dish is THE best place to work on the corner of Santa Fe and Bowles!! Free TV. Money is decent. If you are good they leave you alone.
Cons
You'll make some decent paychecks after a month or so if you aren't a bonehead. But, you will become brain dead. Dish advertises to the absolute lowest forms of life in the this country. Then they wonder why we can't sell them... Well, they have a 206 credit score and no credit cards. I have essentially no faith in humanity left. And after talking to the people I talked to i have no faith left in America. I typically make 1000-1250 a week my best week was 2200 but I work 52 hours a week to do so. And 2250 happened once... OT is not optional... It's required. Dish is a huge casino, and you WILL stay there until you lose. Don't eat in the cafeteria unless you just really enjoy having diarrhea. They keep people for about 9 months and then either fire them for some obscure violation or have sucked their will to live. Most of the people/managers are pretty legit but the corporate structure is not setup to value work/life balance. If you take a job with Dish... Have an exit strategy!! I read these posts when I started and thought " what a bunch of whiners. it can be that bad if you're getting paid well" I say work there... But use them and never forget you are being used. It looks good on a resume if you can make it for a year in the denver area.
