Pros
The only pro about working there is you can say "hey at least I have a job".
Cons
So most these reviews so mandatory over time. You make on national average $15 so I dont see how you can survive on forty hours a week with that. I took all the OVT I could get and yes it sucked sometimes but it wasn't that frequent. Be prepared, they only care about sales. You sign up to be a technician but they can care less whether you spent six hours at one job long as you sold something. Don't sell that day or two days in a row expect a phone call. They will harass the hell out of you about that. The monthly quota when I started in 2013 was $150 a month and went to $700 a month! Some months I did good, sometimes I didn't. Not my fault people didn't want to buy. I brought our merchandise in every job. On my days off I would get several phone calls until I answered to talk about my lack of sales. One of the worse things about Dish is the metric systems for technicians. Every time a vast majority of techs hit goals and get bonuses they will change the metric system the next quarter, so yea, they can change it 4 times a year. The metrics simply are not fair. Customers order the Hopper and they dont have internet you are penalized. Someone missing a TV at the install and you TAGGED the account, still goes against you. They say they will reevaluate , but they don't. Customer tells you to put it on the roof and calls up three days later says he didn't tell you do that, guess what. They get a whole new roof. You are allowed a damage claim fund which is about $4000 a year. Small house, new shingles will eat about half of that. Leave a rut in the yard because there is snow and they didn't clear the driveway, thats about $1000. The absolutely worse part about working there is you work in any and all conditions. any where from -15 below to 115 degrees. Management will tell you to do something that might be border line legal to say OSHA's regulations, but they will not go to bat for you to save their life. The benefits are some of the worse in the country. Worthless as all hell. Just remember when you apply and shake your new supervisors hand, you are looking at the next Lex Luther.
