      Pros

      Decent pay, innovative from a customer base standpoint. Always trying to stay ahead of the game and differentiate itself. Free popcorn, I guess?

      Cons

      Mandatory 5 days a week 9-10 hours a day. 1 day a week at home would be cool, not asking for much. It's 2026, companies are meeting employees halfway for a better employee experience. At Echostar, you should be thankful they hired you. Bare minimum holidays off. It's New Years week and commuting to work the roads are dead, a clear sign Echostar is behind on the times. Work life balance? The worst I've had at any company I've worked for and you know what? They don't care, the CEO literally said in December "work life balance here is more work." Lumps sick pay into PTO balance(only 3 weeks a year total between PTO/sick pay). Snowed in and can't leave your house? You have to take a PTO day even though you have a work computer in your possession. Worst benefits I've ever seen at a higher price. My last 2 companies I was paying half of what I pay here for 4X the insurance.
