Pros
Echostar has an interesting technology and the people are great. You also get three weeks of vacation after 2 years. It never goes up from there however. Profit sharing is usually generous at around four percent.
Cons
The health benefits are terrible. The 401k match is a measly fifteen hundered dollars. The choices in the 401k plan are not good and contain mostly funds with very high expenses. The expect you to work a minimum of forty five hours per week. Raises are typicllay around three percent. That is assuming you get a raise at all. Management is more interested in their own careers and provide no guidance for your career. If you get a job at Echostar, you will be doing the same thing over and over for the whole time you're there. It is very difficult to move around.
