DISH Employer Reviews

Dish is pretty ok well atleast the place I worked at anyway. The job itself is not hard at all. If you like helping people then you might found a home. Other workers will give you the chance to help. Great work environment and the other employees are fun as well.

Dish Network was a great environment to work in. The best part of Dish network is that they teach you the different aspects involved with technology, TVs and cable. It also teaches you how to maintain a calm nature while trying to problem solve customers needs. Co-workers are very friendly and helpful to new hire employees. They insist that employees – more... are provided with free service. I loved working at Dish network, they provide different activities to be involved in, for up-training purposes or time between calls. The provided an internet cafe for employees to use for personal use while on personal time. Granted you do answer 95% angry phone calls, but understanding the customers frustration will always allow you to assist the customer best at Dish. – less

Dish Network is one of the best comapnies I have every worked for. I just need to get closer to family and that is why I am seeking other employment.

One of the worst companies in america to work for. Long shift hours, little to no vacation time, opportunities for advancement depends on how much you kiss up to managment, raises are very minimal

Long work hours, 4 days a week. Very strict rules for technicians, spot checks by managers.

Awful company to work for, didn't care about their employees at all

too many corp managers not enough real people. everyones job is in question everyday no matter your performance. I dont know anyone that has ever been happy working for this company.

This job was what you'd expect from a low-end utility job. Extremely long hours, terrible management, and an offensive health care package.

A typical day at work was, check inventory, check work orders, go and set up customers satilite dish for them to recieve tv.
I learned how to run RG6 wire from Dish to Reciever.
Management was pretty good and would work with you if you needed their help.
The hardest part of rhe job was working in attics at 140 degrees
The most enjoyable part was seeing – more... the customers face when they got their channels they wanted and could watch tv again. – less

Long hours, very little chance of advancement. Almost Impossible to get a raise..Get some experience and get out.

Not a match for my skills and personality. There was no job satisfaction as all aspects of the job were micro managed.

Management is horrible..for some reason they think every call should be a sale..even if the customer cannot qualify or doesn't have a debit or credit card...Shady shady people...also walked in on a supervisor doing some lines off the bathroom counter..that was interesting...Some sales supervisors have no sales experience, but know the right people...constantly – more... tell you it is your fault if you don't sell. The EXTRA TIME...not OT, is extreme to put it nicely. Management always talks down to the sales reps.... All that being said..I have to say, it is or can be a fun job talking about television all day...Getting free DISH service is nice..But for what you have to put up with...ABSOLUTELY not worth it...look for another job, sales jobs are all over, especially out in AZ... Funny thing is not one employer is surprised when you explain to them you're leaving DISH.. – less

a typical day at work is very high paced and ever changing, you have to be a person that adjusts well to change otherwise you wont make money in sales at dish. working 60+ hours a week can take a toll on any person. I've learned what it takes to stay focused in a very highly stressful work environment and still make money in sales. the management persons – more... changed so often it was hard to learn any one thing from a particular person, however working at dish for over 21/2 years is rare and taught me to focus on the details/quality of the sale and not s much the quantity.
I would have t say that the hardest part of the job was how many hours a person has to commit to in order to hit the sales goals necessary to not only meet quota, but to make money. the most enjoyable part of the job would have t be not only the people you work with but the customers a person talks to on a everyday biases its never a dull day. – less

typical day sit at my cubical put my headset on and answer phone calls . learned to be more patient , i now have strong listening skills and mutitask . hardest part of the job was satisfying customers in a sense to offer them the packages to their needs .most enjoyable was hearing thank you sooo much you helped today

sold dish door to door, pitched dish door to door.
learned some basic sales skills
management was not good
co-workers were fine
hardest part was being paid on sales only

Dish is a great company to work for but management is poorly done. On a typical day of work my route changes about 4 times a day. working for dish i have learned how to talk to different types people. All of my co-workers are great guys and are very helpful. The hardest part of the job is explaining to customers why they cant get service. The best part – more... about the job is work on my own with no one over my shoulder. – less

Busy and allows for a different experience everyday, giving you the ability to learn new things and apply creativity to your job experiece on a daily basis.

Management has their favorites. Supervisors having relationships with agents. Very unprofessional. They were voted worst company in the U.S and worst company to work for...all in the same year.

Dish has been a challenging and exciting place to work. I joined Dish as a Sr Developer and quickly grew into Dev Lead and now Dev Manager.
