Pros

Orientation was cool getting to know your coworkers.

Cons

Not knowing what your end time will be. The work orders can change in a blink of an eye, they love micromanaging, you can’t start making commission until your sixth month but yet they want you to sell like you’re like crazy while not really going over the pricing nor products in training and that only benefits the company. They will cut your hours when they are ready to get rid of you by saying “We are short on work.” I was told three different schedules when I started because management is never on the same page.

It is wonderful to hear that your orientation was an enjoyable experience and provided a great opportunity to connect with your new team members. Building those initial relationships is an important part of joining a company. On the other hand, the frustrations you shared regarding unstable scheduling, changing work orders, and training gaps are concerning. Clear guidance and consistent communication are foundational to employee success, and we want our teams to feel completely equipped to reach their goals. Your feedback regarding the commission structure, hour reductions, and training for senior technicians gives us critical insights into where our onboarding and operational processes need alignment. We are focused on fostering an equitable workplace where expectations are uniform and training is thorough. To help us better understand the specific issues you faced with management alignment and scheduling, we invite you to connect with us directly at peopleoperations@dish.com so we can discuss your situation further.

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.
