Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Terrible, never communicating what is coming
Outside of work they are decent people but are forced to micromanage due to upper management.
Always have help available or answers to questions you may have even being a remote tech
Clearly communicating goals, which makes measuring success easy
The best there is out there

Thinking about people and not just any goal wiithout anyreason
Treating people like humans. The whole executive leadership team treats everyone like children that need to be babysat

Pay is decent and 401k is ok
The benefits and bonuses given if your on top of your game and doing what you should be as a salesman/ technican
Review from IT Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Pay people what they’re wor
They only care about how much money you can make the company. The health insurance is crap
Review from Operations Dept
At DISH, feeling undervalued could stem from inadequate pay, lack of recognition, or poor communication. Better compensation could involve a competitive salary, benefits, and clear growth opportunities. Regular feedback and acknowledgment of contributions can also boost morale.
There is a huge gap between expectations and compensation. The model centers around paying people in the lower quartile or the very bottom.
Review from Operations Dept
Compensation is below market. They do not provide bonuses or equity to employees. Benefits are minimal.
What are some of the best things about your team?
The people tend to be intelligent about their fields.
The encouragement and assisting other teams when needed
We work on several projects together
Review from Operations Dept
Dedicated, knowledgeable and focused emtirely on how do we all get across that finish line.
Teamwork, friendly but competitive enviornment, and positive reinforcment.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Dish makes the environment very competitive so everyone is out for themselves.
Lots of people not doing anything at all
Agendas and business meetings should involve planning
Dish actively encourages chauvinistic, domineering personality traits.
Employees are powerless to change the culture. You either accept and adapt or find another job.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I like how they keep us up on trainings
Enjoy working with the customers.
Very flat leadership structure gives you more visibility than at other companies.
Review from Engineering Dept
The people and their committment.
My leader helps me to amplify my work
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Listen to employees and get rid of ineffective managers.
Actually foster a positive culture. Executives make gut feeling decisions that make zero sense
Stop the back stabbing and lying.
They need to realize that the employees are what make there bread and butter
Review from Operations Dept
Dissolving employment for all current leadership, executives and managers. Starting fresh with a team that wants to improve work conditions, follow the law and treat employees well.
What did you like most about the interview process?
My interviewers gave me the floor to ask questions about the company as well
When it was over and I got the job.
The follow-up was consistent and appreciated.
During my interview, I enjoyed connecting with the hiring manager and demonstrating to him my ability to sell. He also gave me the opportunity to listen in with an agent on her calls, so I know what to expect and how I felt about this position. I was very secure that I found the perfect match.
It was a long time ago, but it accurately described my day to day.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Stop drawing it out and needing every single VPs approval to get good candidates in. By the time we get through the process top talent has found a job elsewhere
There are pointless questionnaires that make the interview process painfully long.
DISH relies very heavily on aptitude test and candidates aren't warned about what they are about to go through.
Remove the tests and the number of interviews
Review from Operations Dept
An interview process of two months is unnecessary for the position nor the job description that comes with it
What makes you most happy at work?
Working in person has been a great opportunity
Doing a job and setting the bar high. When a customer brags on me saying they are very happy with the job .
Review from IT Dept
The management gives me positive reinforcement, my pay demonstrates my efforts, and I enjoy the independence of problem solving with customer following certain parameters giving me time to use my rapport building and problem solving skills.
Doing a good job that I can be proud of.
The ability to adjust schedule if needed
Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
People are switching to streaming services. Dish owns satellite and streaming services. I think they should let the satellite sales team also sale streaming services since they are required to sale cell and Internet services as well.
Company is failing- look at the public financial reports
I dont know what can be improved. They started the wireless side and they bit off more than they could chew.
Review from Operations Dept
Leadership, executive team and managers alike treat employees terribly. Majority of employees dread going into work as a result. Treat employees well and they will treat the customer well. That is how you measure success.
Leadership is awful - they cannot advocate for their employees. I think it comes from the man at the top who is out of touch with what a modern workplace looks like.
What do you like best about your company?
The people I work with. The product is fun too.
Review from Engineering Dept
