Pros

Friendly coworkers and small company

Cons

JSat is no longer recognizable to the company I started working at years ago, and it truly makes me sad. The company culture has broken, upper management were once people I looked up to and trusted, but many events that transpired in the last year I worked there changed that. Turnover is high, people have either left or been terminated. Work and hiring at my location stagnated. JSat has the fewest benefits of any company I have worked at. Low salary for location and job, low number of vacation days and combined with sick days, cheap health insurance, 5 days for maternity leave, 3% match IRA, and frugal in every regard. One of the perks JSat used to have is flexibility to work from home, but that is now gone as well with a forced hybrid return to work policy. I hope this company can turn things around, it used to be a great place to work, but it looks bleak.

Pros

In the early days, when the company was smaller, there was a friendly and collaborative culture built by the employees themselves. Since the company rarely hires experienced professionals, junior employees can get exposure to many responsibilities quickly — though this often comes at the cost of work-life balance.

Cons

Extremely long working hours (12+ hours daily was the norm, expected without additional support). Lack of recognition for loyalty — even after 7+ years, personal circumstances were not respected. Poor exit management: despite giving over a year’s extension and then a 2-month notice to train a replacement, management asked me to burn PTO and then terminated my role while I was still on PTO. Culture of bargaining instead of honoring commitments — rather than planning transitions responsibly, they focused on short-term cost-cutting. No appreciation for stepping up when the team was struggling; contribution was downplayed at the end.
