Pros

If you're brand new in your career and don't know exactly what you want to do, or if you're a middle aged white man, this is a great place to work. If you're in literally any other category, do not work here. Opportunities are fantastic though, if you're looking to change career paths or move up quickly, this is a good place to get your career started.

Cons

DISH's policies are incredibly outdated. They're requiring fully in person work, even in the midst of a global pandemic. They use a badge system to track employees by the hour to ensure you're in the building for at least 8.5 hours a day. They don't offer paid family leave or flexible hours for working parents. They don't allow hybrid work schedules with any ability to work from home. They don't have any commitments to furthering diversity at the company and actively deny the requests of their underrepresented employees. They provide little to no work-life balance. They underpay employees to about 60-70% of market value and are weirdly proud of that. Their healthcare coverage is very poor and expensive at the same time. Basically they're refusing to evolve with the rest of corporate America to current labor market needs, which is causing lots of issues. People are leaving this company en masse, with good reason. While people are leaving, instead of readjusting workload expectations, management is just doubling the work for those that remain. This is causing more people to leave, furthering the cycle.

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.
