      Pros

      My team and my mangers are my guiding light.we all trust and support one another, and its inspiring. People leave with bad managers and we are beginning to show this at the upper levels. The teams are small but mighty. You must be resilient and dedicated to thrive here. Keep your head in the game and the passion will flow.

      Cons

      There are hard times, such as our sudden sale to At&t then another left hook with the spaceX news. Sometimes the devouted teams don't see the full picture, and we must adapt. To keep up. The theme goes "opportunity is number 1 benefit", but unless you step up and hold your own, the support starts to wane .

      Can’t really give a star rating with conflicting feelings

      Senior activation specialist
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I actually worked remote during my year there. Company provided equipment and proper training of use of the equipment and software. Pay, benefits, and incentives were excellent. While I was hired on as a Boost Infinite customer support associate, I ended as a senior activation specialist. With two other titles in-between. Each new leader was adaptable and very helpful. Honestly first job I truly enjoyed.

      Cons

      Having been let go in March 2024. When I received my separation letter from Dish, it specifically emphasized that I could reach out to someone from the company and that I would either be considered for rehire, given an opportunity, or at the very least, have a conversation with a recruiter. Despite my efforts, I have yet to receive that opportunity. I have reached out via the chat box on the Echo stars Career website and was given this email. This is a a total of three times I’ve sent a message. While I did receive one automated reply, I promptly responded to it and have not received any further communication.
