Pros

Exposure to TV industry Free movie library

Cons

Clueless management. While I was there the majority of 2 entire departments just quit their jobs out of sheer disgust for impotent management.

Pros

Good technology to learn from. Great team.

Cons

Echostar at my old location was good for years until the company began hiring bad managment and turning a employees away despite what they call an open door policy when employee would denote workplace abuses and more to their bosses and/or human resources. I am ashamed that it still goes on like it does at this location despite employees coming forth and going on record. If you love working had and being verbally, emotionally and otherwise abused by your bosses, this location and operations is your place.

Pros

Always plenty to do. Lots of hands on opportunity. Flexible hours. Discount on Dish network. Tuition assistance for university studies.

Cons

Micro-(mis)management by VP and director level. Lack of proper test equipment. Bogus reward system (monthly parking space or a pair of movie tickets) if you get recognized at all. Poor and costly healthcare benefits. Technical positions pay based on cost of living in Cheyenne, Wy. No training available except contracted out e-learning for office oriented tasks. Company can't get quality help because they won't give a decent wage and can't get any help because they still try to be picky.
