Pros
I honestly can't think of any. Unless you have been happily enslaved, incarcerated or have battered wife syndrome there is absolutely no reason on earth you should work at this unethical, morally bankrupt company. It will destroy you from the inside out. You are better off on welfare or living in a cardboard box.
Cons
The complaints about mandatory overtime, working on holidays, etc are not as simple as they sound. This is a company that takes as much as they can from their employees and gives as little as possible back. I have worked plenty of jobs where I was required to stay late, work more than 80 hours in a week, work holidays or couldn't call in sick or late or wouldn't call in sick or late and I didn't mind that. But what Dish does, is they look for every opportunity to reach in to your paycheck and take what you've already earned and keep it from you. If you are early every day for a year and leave late, they will still "write you up" for being ONE MINUTE LATE even if you got in a car accident and had to take your infant to the ER for internal bleeding. They DO NOT CARE. If you take short breaks every single day and return early from lunch but are 2 minutes late from break one day, your manager will scream at you in front of everyone that you are getting "written up" for this infraction. You must ask permission to go to the bathroom. You are penalized for sales you do not make in the form of lost wages, despite the fact that you COULD NOT sell those prospects due to company policies such as the prospect did not pass a credit check or did not have a credit card. These penalties occur by Dish taking away from commissions you have already earned. Team meetings consist of managers instructing associates on how to play the numbers, how not to take calls, how to delay calls that they can't sell in order to preserve their "close rate". This company has nothing to do with "pride, adventure, winning or intelligence". NOTHING. They lie, steal and cheat at every turn not only from their customers but worse, from their employees. There is not one single employee at this location who is happy with their job, happy with themselves or proud to be with Dish. I have never said a single negative word about any previous employer because I don't believe in burning bridges in a professional environment but no person deserves to be treated the way Dish treats their employees. No one should ever consider working here. Do not work here. It is not worth it. There is a REASON it is a constant revolving door of employee turnover, why they are the most hated company in the entire US (not by a stable staff, keep in mind, but a constant changing staff who hates them) and you would be better off moving, selling your house, working part-time, ANYTHING other than this. Everyone here is looking for a way out. Do NOT believe what Dish says about themselves. I made that mistake and I regret it horribly. What we, as employees, know about working here, is absolutely true. You will be used, abused, taken advantage of, humiliated, disrespected and expected to believe that because you are being paid from time to time that this is all acceptable. No amount of money (and I've made plenty here) is worth the way I've been treated or the way I've been expected to treat customers at this company. Run, don't walk.
