      So painful

      Pros

      Good group of coworkers working here in spite of the management. Great place to get in as entry level just leave once you've learned your trade. There are really only two types of employees. The ones that have been with the company over a decade and are really cynical and those that have just started which are really naive.

      Cons

      It is just a mess due to poor direction and worse accountability. There is an open door policy, but it will get you fired or a bad review so stay away and just agree with everything. Blame based politics get you promoted, not your actual ability or production value. Don't think you will get rewarded on performance here, you will need to leave and go elsewhere.

      EchoStar is a good place to work overall.

      Pros

      The company has come a long way since it's split from Dish regarding how they treat employees. The environment is pleasant and the working conditions are favorable. It is a great place to gain work experience and learn from peers.

      Cons

      EchoStar does not pay its employees very well compared to other employers. The benefits package is bare bones and more could be offered to employees with respect to flexible scheduling, time off and work life balance.

      No frills, but things are better.

      Pros

      Many opportunities to succeed. Advancement is up to the individual. Company is working hard on recognition of employees. Management is coming around to the needs of life/work balance. You will not get rich working here, but you will have a steady job.

      Cons

      Of course, salaries are below average for most, if not all, positions. Benefits package is slightly below average, but improvements are occurring in some areas.
