Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at EchoStar full-time for more than a year
Pros
Stable paycheck and set hourly shifts.
Cons
Lay-offs common, Production environment is aggressive and sometimes hostile to anyone who doesn't meet an arbitrary quota that very few ever succeed at accomplishing in the time constraints. 12 hour shifts with razor attention to detail, only a 30 minute lunch and no restroom breaks outside of 2 more 15 minute breaks isn't realistic. Favoritism makes any chance of promotion or advancement despite qualifications non-existent....

Set realistic goals as opposed to aiming for the stars, falling short and retaliating against the lower level employees that are already struggling to make end meat.

Advice to Management
Listen, ACTUALLY listen to your employees. Get rid of the “senior” management who can’t get with the changes and are always right... they aren’t.

Pros
There are some decent co-workers and good people you might meet.
Cons
Very toxic environment. Favoritism and nepotism rules. If you are not one of the boys; forget it! No managerial support. Always throwing extra responsibility your way without any reward. Worked in this sector my whole life and by far the worst place to work. Finally resigned!
Advice to Management
Management is out for themselves and only themselves. Very eager to get promoted even though they are not worth their salt. No leadership, no support, no shaping or mentoring of subordinates. Incompetence rules. As long as they get promoted (almost every year during the last couple of years) they are careless.
