Pros
I've worked here for 6 years and have never heard rumors of lay-offs, nor have there been lay-offs even through the worst economic times. EchoStar is very stable.
Cons
Our health benefits stink; we have choices of high deductbile plans or 80/20 plans with a ceiling of $10,000.00 per year. We get just 4 days of sick per year AFTER 2 years of employment. Once you achieve 5 years of service you do not get an increase in vacation until you achieve 10 years. Our salaries are not within the national average - in fact they are below.
