Pros

Good overall work/life balance. Most of the line managers (through VP) are competent and good people to work for. Charlie Ergen rules the place with an iron fist and unfortunately nobody stands up to him, no matter what he wants. Not that I can blame them as it is clear he wants "yes men" rather than people who may challenge his thinking and will fire the latter.

Cons

Senior management sees all employees as commodities. It is a very inflexible place to work. Fingerprint readers that time your time in the office even for management positions. No flexibility as to when you arrive/leave. Benefits and PTO are terrible.

Pros

The amount of information giving to the employees about the business is second to none. We as employees always knows what is happening with the industry

Cons

Senior management uses fear and bullying as a motivational tactic. They think they have all the solutions and do not solicit feedback before implementation. Instead, they ask "how come you did not make it work" regardless how bad of an idea it was. Fear - They have an annual mass layoffs with this company - 20 pct out, 20 pct new.
