Pros

-Benefits (insurance, 401k, honestly that's about it) -Tuition reimbursements -Paid Time Off -Protected Paid Time -Approved Time Off

Cons

Scheduling - Is terrible I've been working the same shift over a year with no sight of change in the future. Discrimination - Is still a thing even though the company has faced lawsuits in the past for it (Civil Action No. 02-cv-0581-RPM-BNB) (HAGAN v. ECHOSTAR SATELLITE (2008) the company Discriminates on several things one the force there cellular services on employees. There cellular services suck in my region so i lost my Verizon services so now i never get any signals when I'm home or town. The reason i also consider this discrimination is because this factors into any promotions that the company offers. furthermore company relies on employees to work from home on certain day. I applied for this twice and have been denied due to my internet capabilities but also creates ways they also over look employees for promotion. Toxic Work Environment - in my location they fire employees in front of others they the company has an intensive communication system but management when talking about sensitive information still discuss it openly with others in creating anxiety and low moral within agents around the vicinity.

Pros

Decent pay, good team, employee events are well done.

Cons

Yearly increases do not happen. As recently as March 2025 if you were not a BoostScriber, you did not receive a raise worthy of the efforts put in. We were told we would need to write the Chairman a letter to prove why we deserved a raise if we would not pay to use their product.
