Pros

Decently priced food in the cafe, the Southwestern home made chips were great!

Cons

Terrible management, hours & working conditions. Was lucky enough to travel for one project, was gone from my family from Friday morning through LATE Sunday night. Was still expected to work 10-12 hours per day the following week. Faced discrimination on a daily basis from management. Co-workers actually "hide out" in conference rooms just to get away from management, work on resumes and search for other employment. I witnessed my manager use company-owned equipment for personal projects. He would "hire" people from my team to work on his personal business projects while at Dish and threaten them with termination if they didn't get his work and the company work completed by his, way-to-short, deadlines. The "Employee Engagement Survey" is a joke! mostly multiple choice questions and when they give you a box to give specific comments on only 250 characters are allowed! This company deserves the rating of "Worst Place to Work for in America"!

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.
