Come in to get some experience - but you won't want to stay once you have it! - Anonymous employee DISH Employee Review

Stress, stress, STRESSSSSS! If you can't handle a lot of stress look elsewhere for employment. - You have challenging tasks but the tools at your disposal are usually no better than 2nd rate. For example: haphazard deployment of basic office software - Many employees use Office 2003 and others have 2007. The accountants have apparently calculated that the losses in productivity are worth the cash saved on converting everyone to a newer version of Office all at once. -Micromanagement - This is a company where the CEO used to sign every check over $1,000 - and the CEO still signs every check over $100,000. Throughout the company there is widespread reluctance to delegate responsibilities (although the micromanagement culture is only one reason for this). -Corporate culture - There are a lot of wonderful people working at Dish - but the overall tone set by the leadership is terrible. Often strangers who are familiar with the Dish corporate culture will say "Really? I'm sorry to hear that" when you tell them you work for Dish. Google "toxic leadership" to find out what you should expect to experience while working for Dish. The company is riddled with potential case studies for this topic. -High turnover - Most employees have had more than enough of the Dish corporate culture before they have been with the company for 5 years. Since the company is constantly hemorrhaging experienced, skilled workers there a lot of others who have responsibilities which they either don't have the bandwidth for or lack the skill and experience to handle. This contributes to the micromanagement culture - nobody wants to risk their job by sending critical tasks to someone who likely doesn't have the skill and experience required.
