Working at Dish Network in Spartanburg, SC: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Spartanburg, SC Area

"Thank you corporate for finally waking up to all the issues we have had in Spartanburg. Firing our site leader was good. He was the leader of a good old boy club that has been here for a long time. A major thank you also goes out for firing the Hitler youth leader. He was the most rude and abusive person I have ever met. Good he is gone. Overall very positive moves and anxious to see what steps are next."

This will let the interviewer know that you are actually interested in the company and what they have done in the and for industry."

What don't you like about working at Dish Network?

"1. They don't take sexual harassment seriously. 2. They hire favorites / family members in to management as direct reports (well at least one does). 3. They put people in positions they don't have the education for (engineer for someone that didn't even finish school let alone college). 4. Rules don't apply to management as they apply to other workers (managers playing on the internet (Facebook)). 5. People in positions they don't have the education for. (No one is going to take an engineer seriously if he can't spell past a 3rd grade level.) 6. If you hold a position of leadership and get hurt, management will offer your job to a coworker for good. 7. They don't like giving promotions to people that know their jobs, this goes to the favorites. 8. Security is not there to protect you, only smart cards. 9. They have cameras in the parking lot, but can not catch someone stealing cars from the parking lot, but if anything sexual is going on they record it.10. Need I say more..."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Keep your promises. Do NOT make friends or favorites with employees. Rules should apply to everyone, not just workers. Do not hire relatives as direct reports. Take employee complaints serious. Keep it professional at all times while working (this is pointed toward people that jump on workers in front of peers). Stand up for people you are appointed over instead of throwing them under the bus. Don't steal employee ideas as your own. (stealing is wrong, remember Mr. Christian man.(not all Christians are like this I know, just poking at someone)). Don't micro manage, give your workers some leeway they will surprise you with what they come up with to the finish the job. For the sake of the workers you are appointed over make sure you know a little about the job so you can offer to help if something goes wrong. If you don't, try to make a conscious effort to lean a little about the job. 90% of the supervisors could not run a test bench and get satisfactory production. Come up with a training program for ALL jobs that you offer at your company."
