Pros

Dish has a dynamic atmosphere, is in an exciting industry, and has a very entrepreneurial spirit. Charlie and his wife founded the company and built it from the ground up and in this day and age (and especially this economy), it is nice to see them still involved. It has not been gobbled up into a huge media conglomerate either so there is plenty of room for growth.

Cons

Within the past 2 years it seems like there has been a continuous shuffling of executives and upper management. Our DNS Operations, Marketing and HR departments especially seem to have a hard time retaining good leaders. With Charlie at the helm we also suffer from low pay, stingy benefits, and a general feeling of being a commodity. It would be nice if executives could recognize the value of human capital.

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.
