Pros

None, don't work here, it's the worst company I've ever experienced, and I worked at McDonalds also.

Cons

They do absolutely nothing correctly. HR does absolutely nothing, other than the leaves team. All the hr generalists do is respond to emails with SOEs, they don't even handle terminations? Even though they have 4 or 5 complete different teams. Tons of standard HR and legal duties are delegated instead to basic supervisors(**WHO LACK THE PROPER EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE IN THESE AREAS ALSO**) , so the already understaffed and overworked in warehouse teams lose even more support, because sups have to make up for a complete lack of HR support. Opportunity is only the best benefit, IF YOURE A WHITE MALE ONLY. Women barely make it past lead, there's only 2 females above that out of a team of 20 males. I go days at a time without any acknowledgement at all from male management, and when I am, it's only negative interactions. I was told "no" to negotiating my salary, yet people at the same level as me were allowed to negotiate theirs, which is illegal and I'm assuming sexist, since the male supervisors were allowed to negotiate. I witnessed a violent situation in which the violent employee returned to work the very next day. They are also RACIST. They have multiple non English speaking employees, yet the training departments only train in English. Which is dangerous in a warehouse environment. And they refuse to provide them with translators or Spanish materials, etc. Just leave them to fend for themselves, and the supervisors have to try to make up for it. So they will not provide you with a safe environment nor can it be productive when it is severely understaffed constantly because poor polices prevent termination and job postings. I've submitted 9 hr requests, all are marked as "resolved", although none have been resolved. (Because you don't actually have a voice here) Benefits, one of the biggest ways a company can help you and your family, are horrendous. They do the bare minimum as a fortune 250 company, vs others that celebrate and take care of their employees. All of my care providers literally cringed at the difference in the benefits dish offered me, vs my last place of employment. I had to DECREASE my personal medical care to make up for the CEOs multiple vacation homes and lifestyle. So DISH's 3 promises, are completely untrue. Hostile, sexist, work environments where you're told to tread lightly is what they offer in reality. And no, DISH I WILL NOT SEND ANOTHER EMAIL, IVE ESCALATED 9 ISSUES, you have proven that you do not care.

Pros

Good middle management and compensation. Lots of opportunities to learn from plenty of smart people.

Cons

Disclaimer -This is all water cooler hearsay and opinion. During the two years I was there the bill came due on being penny wise and dollar dumb over the years. A great example is Sling. Dish beat basically everyone to market but Netflix with streaming and was the first platform to offer live TV via stream (which YouTube TV still uses as a selling point). What happened? Dish paid the original engineers to build it and then balked at paying them to document and maintain it. Same deal with the cyber security team. After years of expecting security engineers to do exceptional work shorthanded for middling compensation eventually they had none. It was all put on the security manager, who had a heart attack after repeatedly requesting support. He understandably did not return. Not much later one of the core systems was ransomed, and the company fell out of the fortune 500. Despite being in the middle of dealing with the consequences of those decisions leadership was doing it all again with the mobile network build out.

Hearing that you found value in our middle management and compensation, as well as the chance to learn from the talented individuals on our teams, is encouraging. We appreciate you recognizing those aspects of your time with us. On the other hand, the historical context and concerns you shared regarding executive decision-making, infrastructure maintenance, and resource allocation are deeply concerning. Maintaining a stable, secure, and well-supported environment for our workforce is of the utmost importance, and we take feedback regarding employee well-being and operational decisions seriously. We are continually working to strengthen our operations and better support our teams across all business units. Because this review references a sensitive medical situation alongside organizational challenges, we would welcome the opportunity to hear more about your perspective.
