Pros

It was a job. Enough said. There wasn't very many pluses to working there. Everyone is stressed, underpaid, and overworked.

Cons

The CEO uses the company as his own private bank to line his pockets while disregarding his most valuable asset: the employees. He sits in his lofty tower in Meridian with a view of the parking lot and watches everyone that leaves before the end of the work day. He'll then go down to the lobby and apprehend them. He does not believe in time off, demands long hours, and pays next to nothing for it. The buildings, desks, cubicles and decorations are all second-hand so it feels like you're working in a third-world country. The benefits package (healthcare in particular) is a joke and will require you and your family to go bankrupt in order to pay your medical expenses. There is no such thing as a snow day. If three feet of snow falls and the governor calls a state of emergency, he still insists on employees driving in to work rather than recognizing that an employee's health and safety comes before all else. Turn over there is high, and we're not just talking about the floor workers that service units or the installers that go out to jobs for installation. We're talking middle to higher management. Everyone is miserable there, and I'd encourage ANYONE that is either there now or who is looking at them as a potential employer to think twice about it. There ARE better jobs out there in the world. Stay away from Charlie Ergen because you will regret the time you spend at this blackhole of a company.

Advice to Senior Management

Take your head out of your rectum and start thinking about your employees. Have you ever thought about how many millions of dollars you waste each year training a replacement when your average turn-over is 3 to 6 months? Think about all the good you could do if you actually RETAINED quality employees rather than bashing them into submission. I'd also recommend ousting Charlie Ergen as CEO. As long as that ego-maniac is in charge, Echostar/Dish Network will NEVER be a top company to work for.
