Pros

DISH sells a culture of opportunity, and they mean it. I came in as a college grad, and before even a year of tenure I was presenting to my SVP. Promotions and career advancement conversations happened regularly with my manager, but the onus is on you to make those advancements happen. Make sure you're clear with your manager about specific tasks or skill you need to develop to get promoted, or you may feel like you're getting left behind. Expect to work hard, but I think generally that you're rewarded for that hard work. There are a lot of opportunities to stretch your knowledge, and you're given access to LinkedIn learning licenses to help you with that.

Cons

Company culture is top-down, which makes it feel forced and suffocating at time. The number of hours you are in the building (measured by badge reports, scanning in and out) is huge factor in promotions and raises. You HAVE to be in the office by 9 am or your VP gets an email saying you were "late". There's no work from home policy unless you have a good manager and they're flexible (which is admittedly becoming more common). Although culture varies a lot by team, I have seen a lot of improvements made at the company level (more food options, casual dress environment, employee resource groups, interest clubs, wireless initiative events, etc.)

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.

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.
