I just got a job working for Dish as an installer! I have 8wks of training coming up...that seems a little to much don't you think? How long did some of you train? They gave me a 4,000 signing bonus, van, tools, uniform, the works! After subcontracting for Comcast cable, barely making ends meet, I think I'm going to be in HEAVEN!

Welcome, you may want to check out the installer forum...
http://www.satelliteguys.us/installer-zone/

and don't get your hopes up too much, there is a reason they offer a sign on bonus... cause they can't keep installers. There is a reason for that and you will understand soon enough.
Check out the other forum if you have any questions about the job.

LOL!! O.k. guys I'm now running to the hills I guess. Big money...11.00 an hr. is nothing I know, but it is a steady pay check and no gas $$$ out of my pocket=sign me up. I actually enjoy this kind of work. I'm not worried about the money because...well just because;) The sub co. I work for was horrible...I got paid per job and worked by balls off. The Dish guy said I would start with around 2-3 jobs per day. I'm used to 10-15 new cable installs a day?? I'm sure there is a catch, but if I spend 3 hours at a house...something is up. I kinda figured the bonus was shady. Thanks guys.

Keep low in the attic. :D
:cool:Yeah tell me about it! It's hard moving this 7ft 300lb frame around, but luckly I have not had that much trouble in an attic or crawl space. I just hate it when the temp is about 130 degrees in an attic:eek:! This one time i was doing an install at a pretty rundown house and found dirty needles in the crawl space!:eek::eek::eek: Be careful out there guys!

I agree and I get dirty looks when ever I go out to dinner I am customed to tip my waiters Waitresses. I was told by many that leavin a $20 dollar tip is too much and not to do that. But when I talk to the people bringin me my food that they get $2.00 an hour and the rest the company expects the waiters to make up in tip is ridiculous. In calif waiters and waitresses get paid $9.25 an hour then they also get tip on top of that.
