      Job Security, flexible hours, not really to much else to add for pro's of echostar other than what was stated.

      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.

      It is incredibly heartening to know that you enjoy working with your colleagues and find true fulfillment in assisting our customers. We are also glad that our employee perks and overtime opportunities have been a positive aspect of your time with us. At the same time, we hear your concerns loud and clear regarding the intense pressure surrounding promotional metrics and the difficulties of managing complex customer service tickets under strict time constraints. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where our frontline teams feel thoroughly appreciated and properly equipped, rather than overwhelmed. Your honest perspective regarding how metrics are communicated during team meetings gives us a clear area to focus on as we continuously strive to refine our workplace culture and operational balance. We genuinely appreciate you sharing your experience to help us grow into a better company.
