      Pros

      Decent pay, innovative from a customer base standpoint. Always trying to stay ahead of the game and differentiate itself. Free popcorn, I guess?

      Cons

      Mandatory 5 days a week 9-10 hours a day. 1 day a week at home would be cool, not asking for much. It's 2026, companies are meeting employees halfway for a better employee experience. At Echostar, you should be thankful they hired you. Bare minimum holidays off. It's New Years week and commuting to work the roads are dead, a clear sign Echostar is behind on the times. Work life balance? The worst I've had at any company I've worked for and you know what? They don't care, the CEO literally said in December "work life balance here is more work." Lumps sick pay into PTO balance(only 3 weeks a year total between PTO/sick pay). Snowed in and can't leave your house? You have to take a PTO day even though you have a work computer in your possession. Worst benefits I've ever seen at a higher price. My last 2 companies I was paying half of what I pay here for 4X the insurance.

      Pros

      Get a company van, clock in at your house clock out at your house

      Cons

      Start your day at 7 and work until there's no more work, company doesnt care if a customer scheduled an appointment between noon and 5 and if you show up after 5 you get cussed by the customer and dish doesnt care. Got off at 11 at night then wake up the next day and be told there no work. The company focuses on technicians making sells without any true incentive, rather a technician make a sell then do what they show up to do. Inventory is always wrong, management only holds technicians responsible, not warehouse not themself, even when you follow chain of command, nothing happens. Absolutely no work life balance what so ever, management tries to get you to work 7 days a week.

      Having a company vehicle and the convenience of starting and ending your workday directly from home are aspects of the role we are glad you valued. However, it is disheartening to read about the extensive hours, scheduling challenges, and the friction you experienced with customer interactions. We strive to provide reasonable scheduling window alignment and support our field teams out in the community. Your concerns regarding inventory tracking inconsistencies, management accountability, and an imbalance in work-life expectations are taken very seriously, as we want our technicians to feel supported by both warehouse staff and leadership. Additionally, clarity around workload availability and the structure of our incentive programs are critical components of the technician experience we want to ensure are fair. We would love to have an opportunity to better understand your situation, and we encourage you to reach out to peopleoperations@dish.com to further discuss your experiences.
