Pros

The good: benefits are fair, looks good on a resume, if you can make it 2 years you can get a job anywhere, chance to work directly with high level execs (CMO, SVPs, ect.)

Cons

DISH Network is one of the worst places I have worked. The culture is very tough, management only tells you what you are doing wrong and you are required to work 42.5 hours a week. The good: benefits are fair, looks good on a resume, if you can make it 2 years you can get a job anywhere, chance to work directly with high level execs (CMO, SVPs, ect.) The bad: thrown into the fire with no training and when things go wrong you are blamed/ made to look incompetent, manager meetings every week that are anything but productive/ only telling you what you are doing wrong and not offering any advice, working 10+ hours a day with no recognition, being legitimately KICKED under the table by a manager in meeting with CMO, no severance for 3,000+ employees laid off due to COVID even though DISH boasts about their billion dollars of free cash flow All in all, I am happy DISH laid me off. I was not happy and worked my butt off with no recognition except from my peers. DISH needs to reevaluate their culture and policies to match the demands of employees in 2020. I would reconsider any offer you receive and ask hard questions during your interview.

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.
