Pros

One of the best reasons to work for EchoStar is that it provides a totally unique career experience. There are not many jobs in the IT industry that do what we do. Everyone is very easy to work with; a very professional atmosphere. There are several locations around the US.

Cons

A major downside to working at EchoStar at the current time is the benefits. Pay is low and Health Care is not much to be desired. They have mentioned that they plan on doing something about it soon. Sometimes the smaller sites get overlooked a bit so watch out. Most of the attention and training goes to the 2 larger uplinks while the smaller ones get left out.

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.
