And Dish's upper management is so nice.

"Working at Dish Network (DISH) is no walk in the park, if you read disgruntled employees’ reviews on jobs site Glassdoor.com. “Management treats you like monkeys,” complains one advanced technical support representative in Hilliard, Ohio. It’s apparently so bad that the satellite TV company is the worst employer in the U.S. in a ranking by news site 24/7 Wall St. based on reviews on Glassdoor.
“We are in the midst of a company engagement survey that is part of a concerted effort to identify issues among employees and bring forward solutions,” Dish spokesman Robert Toevs writes in an e-mail. “We are changing the ways we are doing business in an effort to win not only with customers, but also with all of our stakeholders—employees, business partners, shareholders, and the communities in which we reside.”
What’s eating everyone at Dish anyhow? Workers complain about low pay, mandatory overtime, and bad management. Yes, we all wished we worked at perk-happy playlands such as Google (GOOG), but for now, Dish Network workers can take comfort in the knowledge they at least don’t make a living at an early 20th century meat packing plant or, say, Foxconn, the embattled Taiwanese company that assembles Apple products in China.
Dish at least claims, on its careers page, to be concerned with “taking care of you today,” with medical insurance and flexible savings accounts, and “taking care of you in the future,” with life insurance and 401(k) accounts. There are no such charades at Foxconn, which bluntly states on its website that one of the “predictors of failure” is if the job candidate expresses “too much emphasis on money and benefits” at the interview or appears “overbearing, overaggressive, conceited.”
