Pros

Tuition reimbursement. Percipio courses for self improvement.

Cons

Mandatory on site work, no flexibility. Mandatory 1 hr lunch, meaning you have to stay 1 hr later than you normally would (9-6). No remote work. Badge reader tracks arrival time, and if you arrive after 9, your supervisor is notified.

Pros

-My manager still shows signs of human emotion, a rare gem in this soulless corporate wasteland created by the creature known as Hamid. I am not a homeless person. -I’m not living in a cardboard box under a freeway overpass. -Free snacks! Because nothing says "we value you" like throwing a few bags of stale chips at us while the company burns to the ground and our paychecks shrink from inflation.

Cons

-Business Outlook: DOOMED -Stay away. Please don't take any job here. You will be so sad and miserable. -They ripped away one of our holidays like they were taking candy from a baby—except the baby works 50 hours a week. -Charlie Ergen -Forget about working from home; apparently, being chained to your desk is a better productivity booster than being comfortable and actually happy. -Charlie Ergen. Do I need to say more? It’s like the company mascot is now a guy who makes decisions while blindfolded. -They’re literally installing sensors to monitor when we leave the office like we’re lab rats. Who cares about the quality of work when you can track every bathroom break? Soon they might embed sensors in our forearms. -Underpayment? Nah, try criminal underpayment. All our coworkers got massive raises by simply quitting and walking next door. What are we, the intern class of 2010? -Exploiting H1B visa holders like it's some dystopian corporate playbook. People here are trapped under policies that seem inspired by the worst villain tropes in history - AKA HAMID -The whole Dish-Hughes merger is just an elaborate heist. Dish is drowning in billions of dollars of debt, and instead of rescuing Hughes, they’re using it as a life raft. -Hamid -EchoStar, our parent company, is balancing on the edge of oblivion with Charlie's brilliant financial wizardry. At this rate, we’ll probably be auctioning office chairs just to pay rent. -Hamid
