Pros
There are great opportunities to develop new skills at DISH Network. It is a very fast-paced company that enables an employee to determine a career path for him/herself. DISH Network is also an Equal Opportunity environment and does not discriminate based on race, religion or sexual preference.
Cons
It's well-known throughout the industry that CEO Charlie Ergan is frugal. What is less well-known is the extent to which this frugality is passed on to his employees. Wages in the corporate HQ are significantly lower than market average, the medical benefits package is laughable and average merit increases rarely compensate for cost of living increases. Even while publicly stating that the company has "never done lay-offs", attendance and performance policies are tightened, enabling the company to reduce headcount without the need to provide severance. This has created an environment in which the rank & file is in constant fear for their jobs, and in which managerial abuse can thrive.
