      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.

      Pros

      Great perks, overtime available at times, great co workers and love helping customers

      Cons

      Customers yelling at you at 7am before you’ve had your morning coffee, some supervisors micromanaging, the fact that you have to promote promote promote even when customers flat out say no some supervisors want you to keep pushing and that’s honestly a problem for me, if they say no it’s no, we are not in the sales dept. I understand that their numbers are also important but sometimes the pressure is too much, so much so that sometimes I just feel like getting another job if I’m being honest, and I honestly love it but some supervisors do too much, we not only have advanced tech but starlink customers that we have to help, we have a certain time limit for starlink and agents offering starlink to customers then saying” you can call to cancel tomorrow” adds more pressure because now they don’t want you to assist the customer in cancelling now it’s just tickets, tickets is not enough for customers they want a solution not some ticket that’s not going to get them a resolution in a timely manner.
