Pros

I had amazing co-workers that will be in my life for a long time. But the company fosters a very "us against them" mentality, it creates very close bonds with your teammates. And if you don't know, Dish has people come on to GlassDoor after they get a "worst place to work" award and fill out a bunch of "Yay Dish" reviews, but really it is a not fun place to be.

Cons

Dish is the con, poor benefits, poor management, poor communication. They provided an employee survey but never took action. The corporate managers treat their salary employees like they are hourly call center people. Dish is also trapped in a dying industry and the man at the helm is someone that almost nobody can stomach working with.

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.
