      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This place has provided decent stability. They sponsor visas Most teams are laid back and hardworking individuals are around you

      Cons

      Since 2024, 5 days in office policy is enforced, badging in and out and a 9am deadline to come in is enforced through a tracking system

      Layoffs coming

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      We have heard from the inside that lots of layoffs are coming. Commercial and residential teams will possibly be affected. Hamid Akhavan loves layoffs. His salary rises while he let's people's home's be foreclosed on. I think he actually laughs at the employees when they get laid off. It's probably humorous to him.

      Cons

      Mandatory badge in badge out or get fired. CEO (Hamid Akhavan) is like a robot and has no empathy or morals CEO is afraid of his boss (The Big Cheese Charlie Ergen aka majority owner) Lowest salary possible Management that doesn't protect employees HR that is so bad you'd consider slitting your wrists before talking to them.
