Pros

Great perks, overtime available at times, great co workers and love helping customers

Cons

Customers yelling at you at 7am before you’ve had your morning coffee, some supervisors micromanaging, the fact that you have to promote promote promote even when customers flat out say no some supervisors want you to keep pushing and that’s honestly a problem for me, if they say no it’s no, we are not in the sales dept. I understand that their numbers are also important but sometimes the pressure is too much, so much so that sometimes I just feel like getting another job if I’m being honest, and I honestly love it but some supervisors do too much, we not only have advanced tech but starlink customers that we have to help, we have a certain time limit for starlink and agents offering starlink to customers then saying” you can call to cancel tomorrow” adds more pressure because now they don’t want you to assist the customer in cancelling now it’s just tickets, tickets is not enough for customers they want a solution not some ticket that’s not going to get them a resolution in a timely manner.

Pros

Get a company van, clock in at your house clock out at your house

Cons

Start your day at 7 and work until there's no more work, company doesnt care if a customer scheduled an appointment between noon and 5 and if you show up after 5 you get cussed by the customer and dish doesnt care. Got off at 11 at night then wake up the next day and be told there no work. The company focuses on technicians making sells without any true incentive, rather a technician make a sell then do what they show up to do. Inventory is always wrong, management only holds technicians responsible, not warehouse not themself, even when you follow chain of command, nothing happens. Absolutely no work life balance what so ever, management tries to get you to work 7 days a week.

Having a company vehicle and the convenience of starting and ending your workday directly from home are aspects of the role we are glad you valued. However, it is disheartening to read about the extensive hours, scheduling challenges, and the friction you experienced with customer interactions. We strive to provide reasonable scheduling window alignment and support our field teams out in the community. Your concerns regarding inventory tracking inconsistencies, management accountability, and an imbalance in work-life expectations are taken very seriously, as we want our technicians to feel supported by both warehouse staff and leadership. Additionally, clarity around workload availability and the structure of our incentive programs are critical components of the technician experience we want to ensure are fair. We would love to have an opportunity to better understand your situation, and we encourage you to reach out to peopleoperations@dish.com to further discuss your experiences.
