Pros
Moderate PDO (10 days) for new employees. 5 paid sick days, better than nothing Free TV (basic 120 channel plus HD and local)
Kontras
Capped maximum PDO (15 days) no matter how long you work at Dish Requires employees to work 0.5 hours extra per day to offset lunch time since 2009. This was done to have a 6% pay-cut for everyone to increase company's profit. IT department requires its employees to come to work half an hour earlier than everyone else since 2009. This was done to punish everyone for a few people who were late and the management didn't do their job. It makes the management looks good at the sacrifices of employee's personal time schedules and moral. IT department requires lots of unpaid over time on weekends and no differential pay for working over time, in order to hit deadlines, mainly due to extreme incompetence of management. For example, the software design and requirement is always changing and not finalized until about 5 days (sometimes even less) before the targeted release date, and yet, TQA must begin 20 days before the release date, that leaves a negative 15 days for development and internal testing, and then complaint to the employees about the low quality of software and the number of defects open going into the release. Pay raises never match the normal inflation rate. The longer someone works here, the less his/her salary level matches with the same positions at other companies. This creates a perverted incentive for people with experiences and knowledge to leave the company.
