Pros
Staff were professional and seemed like a great group to work with... until they made me an offer.
Cons
I had seen all the bad reviews of DISH and decided to interview anyway, as it seemed to be challenging work. Before my interviews (3) and assessment, the recruiter sent me a list of "comprehensive" benefits, which were the worst I've ever seen. $2500/$5000 deductible on health plan with minimal FSA/HSA contributions, $2500 cap on retirement with only 50% match and a FIVE YEAR vesting schedule, benefits delayed for 2-3 months after start (hello Affordable Healthcare Act penalties). These benefits aren't worth $0.50 a paycheck, let alone $50 a paycheck. I then found out there was no bonus/incentive plan offered, and I had a hunch what was coming next... I discussed salary with the recruiter - she seemed content with my expectations and also added that "managers have tons of leverage with salary." Shortcut to the end: they offer me a significant amount, 10% less than the MINIMUM I asked for BEFORE I was alerted to how horrible their benefits were. Compounded with no bonus and long, grueling hours in a corporate office on the other side of town, it was a no brainer. They seemed shocked, when I declined... Have some respect for yourself and keep looking. If you don't care, the company definitely won't.
