DISH Network Corporation

"Work from home option is almost non existent. 16 weeks of maternity where pay is covered only by short term insurance which is needed before you get pregnant."

"I have not perceived in my department that men and women are treated differently, however most leaders are men. Work friendships/camaraderie can often come easier between men, compared to men and women, so that could definitely have some impact."

"It is true that it is an old boys club, but departmental changes in HR are slowly driving changes in the rest of the company. I have noticed a more diverse workplace in the past year than I have in the previous years I have been here."

"If you're planning to become a parent, make sure you have other options for health insurance. "

"Depending on department hours can vary and they are very strict with PTO and time off. In general this might be good for people with older kids but hard with younger children."

"Leadership at the highest levels is driving equality and diversity. "

"If you're single and want to focus on advancement, you have some opportunities here. It's NOT very family friendly. "

"It’s an old boys club, but the DISH Women’s Network helps facilitate crucial conversations. They are trying to be open to changes. They have mothers’ rooms and expectant mothers parking. "

"The only maternity leave available is considered short term disability. 60% of paycheck for 4-6 weeks."

"Great place to get experience and grow your career. Very interesting industry that is changing quickly. "

"HR is working to bring change in terms of workplace flexibility, benefits, etc. Change is slow but coming!"

"Company is changing - hopefully it continues to see the need to retain women."

"It all depends on your boss. Official company policy on parental leave, PTO and flexibility to pick up a sick child or go to the dentist are inflexible; however, if you have a good boss, the flexibility is definitely there."

"There is no work life balance and the medical benefits are awful. It currently offers a high deductible plan medical pan. DISH will put money into your HSA if you take a Tabaco Free Pledge and a health assessment but not enough to offset having a child. Some departments will work with you if you need it but the company as a whole wants to you to remain focused on the job. "

"I worked here for 2 years. My boss's boss said "everyone knows women can't manage" in response to news that a woman at a partner network got demoted. It's a bad place to work for women or men, but in particular not friendly to women."

"The company is definitely based off of men. Women in the tech field have to work twice as hard to get any recognition. There is no light duty given to pregnant techs so you have to carry the 90 pound ladders until the day you go on maternity leave. They will not change this policy or even consider doing anything for pregnant women who are technicians. Women installers deserve to be treated better and start recognizing the work they do, not just the men."
