Pluspunten

Dish Network offers its employees free tv after working there for 3 months. I would say that this is the only benefit working there. Employees are treated like cattle. I can't really think of any good reason to work at DISH. If you are really into watching TV and like to be in that industry, then maybe you would like working there. There are so many tech jobs in Atlanta, I can't really see a good reason to work there. The work itself is not very exciting. They really used old techologies and are reluctant to upgrade to something new. Most of us spend our time revamping code written by people in Denver are treated like second class citizens.

Minpunten

There is very limited internet access available. Not matter what your position, your hours are clocked. Every time you login to your computer, you see a pop-up saying that all computer activity is monitored. Since we are not at corporate headquarters we don't get any of the perks that they offer. If you consider interviewing there, ask about the benefits up front. They don't give you the day after Christmas or Thanksgiving off either. The medical benefits are probably the worst that I have ever seen for employees. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There is not much room for advancement because all of the important work is done in Denver.

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Minpunten

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.
