Vantaggi

The only advantages of working at DISH are the income potential and a nominal, or no cost, cable television subscription. In exchange for these advantages you pay a steep price in attempting to maintain your personal integrity, to truly satisfy a customer's (vs. the company's) stated needs, and your sanity.

Svantaggi

In theory, the inside sales representative's goal is to satisfy customer wants and needs. In practice, at DISH, this goal is perverted to satisfy the company's wants and needs, regardless of whether they are in line with those of the customer. In this environment, sales management places a priority on "selling the slinky sphinx," that product or service which is most profitable or which will, in the company's estimation, increase customer loyalty. The best way to sell this slinky sphinx is to not tell the customer what he or she is paying for or to simply ignore what the customer wants or needs and quote a price which satisfies the wants or needs of the company. As a result of management's total disregard for employee's concerns, unreasonable requirements for overtime, the compensation for this overtime, micro-management, lack of direction in sales objectives, chargebacks to employees income, and total disregard of the wants and needs of customer and employees, turnover for inside sales representatives is astronomical. Rather than attempting to address these concerns, management takes the attitude that the best answer is for an employee to resign or be fired because they can find another willing to fill his or her seat.

Vantaggi

Good middle management and compensation. Lots of opportunities to learn from plenty of smart people.

Svantaggi

Disclaimer -This is all water cooler hearsay and opinion. During the two years I was there the bill came due on being penny wise and dollar dumb over the years. A great example is Sling. Dish beat basically everyone to market but Netflix with streaming and was the first platform to offer live TV via stream (which YouTube TV still uses as a selling point). What happened? Dish paid the original engineers to build it and then balked at paying them to document and maintain it. Same deal with the cyber security team. After years of expecting security engineers to do exceptional work shorthanded for middling compensation eventually they had none. It was all put on the security manager, who had a heart attack after repeatedly requesting support. He understandably did not return. Not much later one of the core systems was ransomed, and the company fell out of the fortune 500. Despite being in the middle of dealing with the consequences of those decisions leadership was doing it all again with the mobile network build out.

Hearing that you found value in our middle management and compensation, as well as the chance to learn from the talented individuals on our teams, is encouraging. We appreciate you recognizing those aspects of your time with us. On the other hand, the historical context and concerns you shared regarding executive decision-making, infrastructure maintenance, and resource allocation are deeply concerning. Maintaining a stable, secure, and well-supported environment for our workforce is of the utmost importance, and we take feedback regarding employee well-being and operational decisions seriously. We are continually working to strengthen our operations and better support our teams across all business units. Because this review references a sensitive medical situation alongside organizational challenges, we would welcome the opportunity to hear more about your perspective. Please consider reaching out to our team directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can learn more.
