No, really....why?
Why don't we get free Dish TV for working for this company? Comcast employees get free cable AND internet. Cell phone employees often get free service or deep discounts on the service plans offered.

Just saying...the old Blockbuster seemed intent on taking away perks from us. When will the new company that owns us start giving us more perks?

And I can't sell their Dish TV packages if I don't get to use them.

Just sayin...

We are to different companies still. Dish says they are working on it but I don't believe it really. Plus, Blockbuster workers are not suppose to sell Dish products. They don't want us too. Thats for their Dish employees to do lol.

They probably treat you guys like an outsource center. I work for the local cable company through a call center that handles several different clients, so I don't get any of the perks that people who work directly for the cable company get. It's just one more way they think they can get more money out of you.

it is really because they know we can sell the ass off of it and they would not be able to pay the incentive.

If they did that they'd have to give all their DISH employees free rentals from the stores too.

You don't want Dish anyway...it is an awful service unless you live in an area without clouds or rain.

Dish does suck. Very horrible service. To many surprises in the subscription also.

I had Dish-even when we were giving Directv away for free. The signal went out every time it rained and we had to re-position the dish every spring because of our trees. I hated selling Directv and will not be hawking Dish.

I don't see anything wrong with that.
