Pros

Some of the people that work there, who try their best to deliver amidst the chaos

Cons

There are so many cons that it’s hard to name a few (no wonder Dish was chosen the worst employer in the US): -Hours: although the 4pm rule to leave the office was removed, the company now silently forces employees to put in 8.5-9hours every day, alleging that they will not be considered for a promotion otherwise. Exploitation at its finest. - Management: horrible, incompetent managers. Promotions are based on favoritism (never mind the previous paragraph, about hours - you may work 12hrs/day but, if you’re not part of your director’s or VP’s clique, you will NOT be considered to move up. However, if they don’t like you and you work less than 45hrs/wk, they WILL use that against you). - Lack of directions: Dish is a mess, there’s no strategy or structure. No wonder its stocks are at their lowest and the company is bleeding customers and money at a speedy rate. - Almost no diversity at management level. Again, unless you’re one of the faves.

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.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective with us. Hearing about your day-to-day reality in sales—from lead quality to equipment needs—is incredibly valuable as we continuously work to refine our internal processes and onboarding experience. While we are glad you enjoyed the flexibility of working from home, it is disheartening to learn that you felt misled by our initial job description and interview process. We want to ensure our teams feel properly supported and equipped to succeed in their roles. Our People Operations team would welcome the opportunity to dive deeper into your feedback regarding our commission structures and lead generation systems.
