Pros

Free basic TV is about all I could say.

Cons

- As a supply chain individual, Buyers, Commodity Managers, and Materials Managers have NO Signing Authority. Even the Directors have limited signing authority. Charlie in his Micro Management mentality does not trust any of his employess to make the right decisions. He requires any purchase over $5K to be signed by a VP or above. - There are no such things as snow days. Risk your life, and get your butt to work. Better be on time or HR will be dragging your butt up to your VP to explain why you are late; 9:00 am means 9:00 am. "Your papers please...." - You are expected to put in a minimum of 45 hours per week. It is unwritten, but "encouraged". - Health Benefits are the worse compared to other companies. - Pay is below average - Fear and intimidation are the working conditions. - Turn over is extremely high in Supply Chain, even during a recssion. What clue does that give someone.... - Avoid working at Echostar. Might be a good stopping point as you seek employment elsewhere.

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.
