Pros

-I liked most of my direct colleagues - can learn a lot quickly since you’re doing multiple people’s jobs - there are a handful of shining star people - stepping stone to better opportunities

Cons

- extreme favoritism displayed by executive leadership - allowing terrible managers to stay, even as they create a toxic culture and cause good talent to leave (I’m looking at you, marketing) - won’t listen to any feedback b/c the CEO runs everything - top down culture - old school - NO MATERNITY LEAVE - terrible benefits in general - high turnover, expect your best coworkers to last a year or less - a little racist, a lot misogynistic - must work in the office 9-4 min, and the president will come on the floor at 4 to pressure people to stay

Pros

Great colleagues. Decent, cheap product.

Cons

Management will take advantage of you. Raises are few and far between and have never kept up with cost of living regardless of your contributions, tenure, or experience. I was a top performer every year, but I was losing money by continuing to work there. They will allow you to participate in Dish’s employee stock purchase program, but the company is doing so poorly that you’ll end up losing all that money anyway. The other benefits are not really benefits at all: embarrassingly low amount of time off, terrible health coverage for which you front the entire premium, and no flexibility in how or where you work. On top of this, you can expect layoffs of invaluable team members whenever the stock price takes a dip. The culture is terrible in that they treat you like children, expect you to be in you desk 8 hours every day, and will write you up even if your mere seconds late to badge in for the day, all while saying how culture is their top priority (it’s literally a quarterly pizza party). They still, though, have the nerve to set the expectation that you are to work weekends whenever management needs you to, not to mention being on call for 180 days of every year. I’d like to say that this is unique to Sling’s IT department, but in my experience these cons are pervasive to both Sling and Dish as a whole.

Pros

Middle management and below is great.

Cons

Executive team thinks customers want nothing but upsells. I give this company less than 5 years. Worst executive team of all time.
