Pros

My best friend worked with me? In all honesty even the fact that they gave me 69.99 off every month for service there weren't any benefits to working for Dish. Except that I had a job and my manager loved me. They didn't support me, I never made pay for performance and when I did it was a mere $50. My benefits were terrible, it was like not having benefits at all. Every other pay for tv company gives you their service completely free and I still had to pay in order to have it. They promised me a lot of things I never saw. So all in all I'm glad I no longer work there.

Cons

Every pay for tv company gives you their services completely free so you know what you're talking about and what you're selling. Not Dish. they give you their top channel package free (america's top 250). I pay for all of my movies and movie channels as well as my dvr and if I had more than one it would be the same. So not only was I a disgruntled employee I was also a disgruntled employee. I made mistakes and paid dearly for them. But Dish offered me pay for performance which was actually unachievable as well as overtime which was never actually available. Their benefits were like having none and their schedules included both weekend days. I would never work for them again. My coach was overwhelmed and none of the coaches were ever approachable Often times it was a fly by the seat of your pants sort of thing.

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.
