Dish Network Work Values

Daily Duties at Dish Network:

Managed the daily, monthly, quarterly, and yearly accounting functionality related to appropriately capitalized fixed assets according to company policies and G.A.A.P. (Generally accepted accounting principles). Through review of the fixed assets accounting cycle, made certain the integrity of reported fixed assets and the safe guarding of fixed assets were maintained at the highest levels possible throughout the year. This was achieved by a series of processes and procedures such as reviewing/approving fixed assets accounts reconciliations prepared by my direct reports prior to the final month end hard closes; reviewing the reasonableness tests of month end depreciation schedules prepared by my direct reports, preparing and presenting variance analysis reports at our monthly pre-close Manager's meetings chaired by our SVP and Controller. I was responsible to report upon all PP&E fixed assets balance sheet and related P&L accounts. Additionally, I managed the Purchase Order process of reviewing and correcting electronic purchases that had interface issues (ie the category picked did not feed into the account string interface in Oracle Purchasing). I received daily auto-generated emailed from Oracle, including the name of the person trying to set up the requisition. Such individuals were typically Buyers and administrative external customers purchasing anything from copiers to printer cartridges (I worked with them to fix the requisition coding within 24 hours, and included all purchasing issues - not just fixed assets purchases). Other - managed staff accountants, including preparation and presentation of their quarterly and annual reviews.

What they like about Dish Network:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
