EchoStar reviews

Benefits are overall bad and minimal. The 401k is not great either. Standards of operations are lacking for the ESO department. Training is minimal and unorganized. Communication is terrible within the department and between departments. Management refuses to enforce the standards they create and has led to rogue employees and intermediate supervisors. A mountain of paperwork and review process is required before any maintenance can occur. Opportunity for advancement is very minimal. In-fighting between supervisors is performed in the presence of employees on a regular basis. Documentation of systems and projects are often lacking. Change shifts far too often. Office politics are always at work. Generally disgruntled employees and supervisors. Overall, not a good place to have a career. Pay is well below the field average.

Read the other reviews and you'll find many that point out flaws in this company. The problem is that the flaws go so deep that no single review can cover them all: Low pay, misguided micro-management, poor benefits, top down dictates, lack of respect for employees (ideas, abilities, careers) by upper management, a corporate culture of continued mediocrity because that's the way we've always done it. The list just goes on and on.
