Only the people that are hiring you can answer that question since there are many entities doing dish network installs.
Is Dish network is good place to work ???
If you are a lawyer.
Oh man, that was funny!!!
I worked for Dish a few years ago as an inbound sales rep, at the Riverfront call center in Littleton, CO. It was ok, pretty laid back atmosphere, at least then. It was actually a decent company to work for. The benefits were not good so we used my wife's benefits.
I have no idea how it would be for an installer.
I didn't work at Echostar/Dish HQ, which sucked because it is only a 5 minute drive from my house. Same as Starz HQ and Liberty Media HQ. They are literally right across the highway from Dish HQ.

If you like.....Having to turn in your inventory every day upon arrival at the office, yes.
Returning your tools every day upon arrival at the office, yes.
A multitude of rules or regulations that boggle the mind, yes.
Or am I tallking out of school?
DNS Techs? Anyone?
I think they must all be busy working overtime trying to do all jobs perfectly, get all the paperwork right, and follow all the rules so they can actually get paid how much they earned and not get eaten up with penalties.
Is it with Dish Network directly or a sub-contractor? When I started with Dish (directly), they started at $12.50/hr. I like the job...meeting people, installing...the rules can be ridiculous. They provide the tools, van and product. There is a bit of paper work for each job to do. First off, you will get 4 weeks of training. 3 days in class, then 2 days riding with a tech each week. The training is actually pretty good (depending on the classroom trainer and your OJT trainer). Is there a forum for bashing Dish as an employee that I've missed?
its a good place to start .. but all the office bs will make your head spin. 3 days in 2 days out traning wish they had that when i was in house ..
now doing installs of every sat system thanks to dish for geting me into this crazy sat game

I cant speak for being a installer, but at the call centers #1 annoying thing=ever changing rules. As soon as you get into a groove they change up something. Needless to say that something will always affect your employment. So with that being said. No layoffs.. but a whole bunch of firing. Turn over rate is way to high.
and @ gadgetguru I'm still waiting on that forum

Over the years of insider contacts I would advise you avoid working for them if at all possible.
I'm a tech working directly for dish, I like my job. They provide me with the right tools I need to do the job, for the most part I like my FSMs (supervisors) and my fellow techs are competent. My office is ranked highly in the nation among all DNS offices, and turnover is extremely low. (all the guys have been there at least one year). Pay will vary by market.

Well it really depends on if you are working for Dish or a subcontractor RSP.
I think you will get a pretty even answer that the pay for a satellite tech has become at best minimal. It used to be a decent paying profession, now all it has become is a low paying job.
Hours a day will depend on the area and the office. Many area's have complained of very little work, other area's complain of working rediculous hours. All I can say is it is not a 9 to 5 job if that is what you are looking for. Some days you might put in 3 hours others you may put in 15.
Be prepared to work in any weather condition. Be prepared to work in the nastiest house you can imagine. Be prepared that you are nothing but a piece of meat that will be used up and spit out when they are done with you.
yep some homes STINK to the point you want to throw up, some packed so soild with junk its hard to run a cable, then you have new subs who havent a clue but try to tell you how to do the job. One notable for me was a nice clueless guy who had a tough treed in site, he insisted just put on roof point dish STRAIGHT UP, it will work fine
The worst thing about the job aside from the micromanagement is having to work in bad weather. Rain, thunderstorms, snow, windy/cold and blazing heat.Damn, that sounds horrible, Dish employee or subcontract!!
The screws upstairs at Dish shine chairs with their overstuffed posteriors. The only time these people lower themselves to the effects of climate is going from home/office to their automobile.
