DISH

"Dish is not for everyone - Dish can be the best or worst experience, dependent on your leadership and team and how much you feed into all the BS policies put into place."

"The benefits across the board are subpar compared to what other companies the same size offer. Work-life balance is managed by your supervisor. "

"Over the past year the progress that was previously been made towards equality has started to slide. While it's not all of the leaders, there are a few key leaders that do not see how they are treating women in a negative manner. Unfortunately those men see it as something women need to fix for themselves and think they aren't doing anything wrong. "

"It can be intimidating because it is a male dominated environment, but if you remember these things it will take you far. Work hard and work smarter. Be patient with yourself and others, alway strive to do better,be positive in the face of change and challenges."

"Get involved with DWN and the Empowered Parents Network. These are great groups for support and community."

"I think Dish has a great culture, in terms of women in leadership roles and I feel that they are very inclusive of all people. However, their benefits, such as health benefits, maternity and paternity leave, time off, work from home opportunities, (the list goes on and on) do not reflect their rhetoric. Their bottom line is saving the company money. I stay with the company because I use my partners benefits, otherwise I would look elsewhere. "

"I have learned a lot throughout my time at Dish, and I have been able to advance my career from supervisor in the call center to a Sr Manager in the corporate office. There are many stories like mine, but overall I have found Friends, leadership support and a lot of smart people that challenge me. "

"DISH rewards hard work and loyalty. If you are at a place in your life and career where you can dedicate above-average time and effort, you can rise quickly through the ranks. "

"For a tech company, their benefits are a bit behind the times. I would love to see them update policies and benefits to match or exceed the current market. That being said, it may be one of the reasons they’re still in business (saving on employee costs) when many paid tv companies are struggling. "

"DISH has grown over the past few months in the DEI space and continues to promote DEI in hiring decisions."

"Dish is an empowering place to work as a woman!! I have always felt supported and encouraged to embrace who I am and there are multiple ways to get involved here and partner with other team members for personal development and growth opportunities. "

"Great supervisors and policies that are evolving. Great location and opportunties."

" Dish is a great place to work. I appreciate the support I receive from management and my coworkers. I have workplace autonomy which gives me the freedom and flexibility to do my job at a high level. We work hard and are rewarded! I highly recommend DISH!"

"There are many women in executive leadership roles, there is a Women's network (company sponsored), and the company promotes on hard work. "

"DISH is a company in evolution to build female senior leaders, and provides the opportunity for growth and development for those with drive, energy, intelligence and need to achieve both below and at the leadership level. If you want to be a part of the evolution and drive change, this is a great place to join and make a difference. We value collaboration and working together in the office, and provide flexibility within an in-office culture. I'm an executive and a Mom, and able to manage work-life balance that fits my family needs."

"No paid maternity leave. Better if you have only brothers so you’re used to male relationships, you will be 1-5% female unless you work in HR or marketing."

"It can be a great or terrible place to work. It depends on the department and the leader. I am fortunate to work for a really great group."

"This is the tech industry, it is still dominated by males, with the majority of those males older and white and with an old-school mindset when it comes to work. While we are seeing a slight shift away from the "boys club", you can still see that the vast majority of our leadership are males, and mostly white. The only women who get ahead here demonstrate aggressive personalities in order to get their seat at the table."

"Never have I experienced more opportunity than at DISH. There are opportunities to do something meaningful to you; to manage yourself autonomously; to grow and develop and even change roles; to make an impact beyond yourself and as big or small as you want; and opportunities to connect. While some of our policies may be a little old fashioned right now, but they've shown the capacity for change. I fully believe we're developing towards one of the top employers for people of any background, orientation, or status. "

"I've had a great experience so far from the perspective of being a woman. I have always felt that I am on an equal playing field with not only my colleagues, but also my business partners at all levels."

"I think your experience here will ultimately depend on your manager. I got lucky and have an excellent manager that I report directly to. Finally I have the support that I've been missing in previous jobs, and I know that my manager will be the first to advocate for me and my team."

"Women want to succeed here and they see that there are more men in leadership positions so they are determined to move higher up."

"Family leave policy is definitely the worst I have seen in the industry and I would also rate benefits and flexible work schedule to be bottom of the industry standard"

"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."
