Dish Network Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"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."

"I worked at Dish for 5 months, and in that time my quality of life went from decent to pretty bad. After the fourth month, I dreaded going into work everyday, due to the fact that no matter what you are told, you are very replaceable. It is a company based solely on your numbers, and your job depends on you meeting those numbers on a daily basis. Your manager will act like your best friend when you are meeting goals, but one bad day will get you on their bad side real quick. My personal experience may differ from other offices, but my manager had 0 people skills, was extremely condescending, and lied to me the week I was fired. I had a full day of jobs in my queue and was told to come back to the shop at 9 am, and got sent home due to lack of work. They will tell you there is overtime but then send you home. I've also made the half hour trip to work and got sent home for the lack of work, BS reason. It is extremely hard to get a raise, and on top of having to do jobs quickly to meet a goal, you are required to sell products to customers during your job, extending the amount of time you are there, and you aren't guaranteed a sale, which you do not make money on, only point you can shop with. Overall, if you want a career that you're guaranteed 40 hours a week, is room for advancement, are treated with respect, and are compensated properly for the amount of work you do, then do NOT WORK FOR DISH NETWORK."

"If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all."

"Although the people at the company are great, the job itself is not. Very monotonous and stressful for what the job should actually be. Not ideal for someone looking for a career with meaning."

"I have been with DISH for 11 years. This is a company that balances the stability of a large company with the demands of a start-up. Every decision is made to advance the customer experience be it technology or service. The culture demands everyone to always demonstrate constant improvement and embrace change. Individuals who show initiative, teamwork, and innovation can thrive. Policies can be challenging but improvements have been happening as the company evolves without losing site of their core principles of winning, pride, and taking risks."

"DISH is less than a great place to work. Don't get me wrong, it could be a great place and I hope one day it will be. The leadership needs to change the way they think or hand over the keys... blaming others for everything that's wrong with the company is not cool and not good for morale."

"The company is a great working environment. It builds character that can be taken and applied to many aspects of your personal and professional endeavors. Dish management is very tenured and as of recently have been bringing in new faces to further expand DISH's reach."

"I have worked for Dish since 2008. I have seen the company evolve into a big NUMBERS only company. The only thing that this company cares about is how do the reports look at the end of the day. Employees are forced to work extra days even if they have a family at home wondering when you will get time off. If you try to advance in this company..good luck.. good, quality employees such as myself, are denied a job that they are more than qualified for because of the "numbers" on the reports. These numbers are designed to never look good unless you get lucky....In closing... If you want a job that you will feel human and rewarded.. DON'T WORK FOR DISH!!!"

"Good company to work for. Stable job. Would have loved to continue but it was an internship."

"Awesome place to work! Completely love my team."

"Satellite Installation Technician (Current Employee), Sacramento, CA. Pros: Three days off in a row. Work independently. Time goes by quickly. Cons: Unfair treatment of technicians. The pie system is broken. I will start out by saying that the actual work at Dish is great. I love going to customers' homes and installing TV and fixing problems. I also like the scheduling. However, the technicians' pay is based on a system that is completely unfair."

"Company that has recognized it needs to start taking care of its employees. Really are trying to change, but in the transition they still only care about the bottom line."

"Decent work environment."

"Dish IT management is a very competitive bunch, They spend little time actually managing, and a lot of time competing with other IT managers. While the CEO, is a good guy, other managers keep the company in command/control mode and generally ruins the atmosphere, top to bottom."

"This company really takes care of their employees but the compensation is below par."
