Pros

The pay checks never bounce and there is always more than enough work to keep one busy. Some of the managers really do try to make the corporate policies bearable. If you are going to work at DISH, try to get a position in a field location. It is much less political and micro-managed than the corporate headquarters.

Cons

They have no flexibility on work schedule, make you badge in and give you a written warning if it snows and you are late due to traffic. You are expected to get a hotel room at your expense near the office if the weather is going to be bad, so that you are sure to arrive by 9:00 am. The benefits don't cover pshycological care so if anyone in your family needs a counselor or psychiatrist to help deal with an issue, you are on your own. Vacation never goes past 3 weeks so the guy who works there 3 years gets as much vacation as the guy who works there 23 years. They will work you until you drop. Guys have been carried out on a stretcher.

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.
