Default Anybody in here work for DISH Network?

I'm thinking about transferring to UT or CO. Any input? How is the work where you're at? I want to move to a less-populated and pretty area to enjoy the fruits of nature more. THANKS for your input!

O ya? Cool I'm in the riverside office in socal. I'd say I would choose St George, very nice weather is doable, cedar gets all the snow. Id hate to be wrapping cable on a house covered and surrounded in snow.

Yeah I have thought about that. And the amount of SCs for a little snow on the bottom of the reflector. ha ha. But it sure would beat 160* attics 8-months out of the year. Is there any way to find out the pay scale of remote areas like that? I know they won't take away anything, but will add if the COL is higher. Techs here is DFW make anywhere from 40-50K/yr right now, but have no idea about anywhere else.

Ya just hit up ur I'm or gm, just find out the starting pay. But if u do transfer it'll prolly be a good paycut. They start 17 here I think it's 15 or 14 in Arizona. Is it a remote office there or an lsc? If it is remote it's probably out of Vegas.
