Vantaggi
I have managers than always asked my how am I doing. They come in on shift and make sure they ask me how was my day off. As a tech, if you are hitting your numbers and welling to put the time in, you can have alot OT. They even made sure during the holiday in 2012 that techs got BONUS for working on the 3 big holidays plus holiday and reg. Pay. 4 days on and 3 days off is a great schedule. My manager always make sure that if i work on a scheduled day off i get to pick another day off of my choice. I lost so many days off as a salary manager in my last job that I never got to see my family. My stress level is almost zero now and my life balance is great. Love the free programming. Stock option. Training is improving and dish is really listening to feedback from their employees. I will say my managers delivered on day one what they said in my interview. I believe all goals are achievable if you work hard. Positive behavior equals positive results.
Svantaggi
I believe there is a disconnect between departments. Need to work to set techs up for success.
