Pros

At one point in time maybe there were some pros working for DISH, but that is gone.

Cons

I was hired as an operations manager and the onboarding was horrific. There was no structure and no leadership in place for guidance. I was asked to take over an office that had been left with out management for 4 months. It was a complete mess. I stuck around to make change. I caught on quick that this company is ran by command and control leadership. Some of their top executives are absolute lunatics. They would display theatrical moments of aggression, intimidation, and disrespect in meetings. Trying their best to instill fear to get you to do what they want. This isn’t 2000 anymore. You are not an operations manager because you are demanded to have answers for constant reporting, meetings, and situations. They literally required their operations manager to be prospects and go find electricians to see if we can do business for them installing EV. There was no commission for that either. This company doesn’t care about its people. The put that on full display this past week. They are laying off tenured employees (at all levels), closing offices, and terminating employees that are on performance improvement plans because it’s the best decision for the company. That is complete garbage. They have no loyalty, no trust, and no future. Employees are jumping ship at a rapid pace. If you drink the koolaid they want than you will say DISH is “tightening” up and making “difficult decisions”. This company is going bankrupt. Command and control will never have a future. Do not apply here. If you are still employed with this company than you need to start looking for a new job/career ASAP.

Pros

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Cons

They don’t provide any equipment aside from the computer itself. They mislead you during the interview and job description. You are paid according to price of product sold and close rate however it’s all inbound calls and you can not call back. The inbound calls are lousy, people who don’t even have a $1 on a card in order to do the eligibility check, or no card at all.. poor credit which leads to higher out of pocket costs. I think only a handful of times I couldn’t overcome the spousal objection or the just shopping objection. Those I will take responsibility for but if I’m getting calls from people who don’t have a card or don’t have a $ or don’t have the money to put down OR already have an account or is a mis-transfer or were passed along because the technicians have to make referrals even though the customer isn’t actually interested in the product yet the tech makes them still call.. that’s crap and it’s not real sales.
