Pros

The people there are geniune and try to do what's best for the company. If you are fresh out of college, you will likely get much more experience than other entry level employees. Opportunity to move around within the company. The IT help team seems to be pretty solid. The company has high turnover, so it's pretty easy to develop a network in the Denver area since there are so many dish alums.

Cons

Sadly do not care for employees. Few examples: During the Colorado Bomb Cyclone, the worst snow storm in Denver in roughly 25 years, managers were threatening employees that they'd have to take PTO if they left before 4 PM. By 4 PM that day there was 80 mph winds and almost a foot of snow on the ground. The health insurance is very poor. If you have a family I would suggest not getting this insurance unless you absolutely have to. It is basically emergency only coverage. One of the main reasons I chose to leave the company. The badge report will always hold this company back from getting top talent. Absolutely no flexibility working remotely either. Saw several very talented people have to leave dish because they moved elsewhere, even though their job did not necessarily require them to be at the office. Luckily we replaced many of them by putting their workload on someone else, or hired someone new and endured a 1 year learning curve. 401k is very average if not below, and the employee stock options aren't great when the stock has been down for some time. Many of the working areas are moving toward open layout. But many of the directors and above are getting brand new offices. Very inspirational and walking the talk right there. Parking at the headquarters is becoming limited. If you are running late, good luck finding a parking spot at all when the entire lot is full by 8:50.

Pros

I made a late in life career change and started in a Level 1 call center role. At first, I thought the recruiter's pitch about growth was just a talking point. I simply needed a new direction. But the training was incredible. I had four amazing coaches during my call center days. Since moving into TA, I’ve had the same supportive coach/manager. Each one has truly helped me grow. Meeting regularly with someone who genuinely wants you to succeed is a rare gift. I've seen others grow at their own pace—progress is always encouraged. It’s empowering to work hard and have a team that supports your growth. All you need is the willingness to learn and a solid work ethic. The tools and training? They’re part of the package. Years later, I still look forward to showing up and doing what I love.

Cons

Tech and HR are always changing, you must be able to embrace change

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.
