Pros
I love the people I have worked with at DISH through the years, and I love helping customers. I just wish I could stick to just helping them.
Cons
No employee loyalty. Inconsistent goals -- I may be well above goal normally, but for shift bids it doesn't matter. As a many-year rep considered one of the best in the building, I still get one of the worst shifts. Sales matters more than fixing things for tech support reps. Minor mistakes in what you say affect your QA scores, Customer satisfaction surveys greatly impact your standing, even when they are reviewing the company or what the previous agent did. Little or no chance to get holidays off. Even after many years of service I still only get 3 weeks off a year, and I MIGHT be able to get a holiday but it has varied each year. If you're not willing to move to Denver (headquarters), there is little to no upward mobility. Some positions are actually a step down in pay for regular agents.
