Pros

Fairly up to date on technology. Lower level managers tries to shield the employees from the bs that rolls downhill from the top.

Cons

Horrible benefits, if you have a family, you're probably on your partner's benefits. The basecamp training that they push on all new employees sucks, you will learn the duties of call center agents and installers, how is that relevant for office workers, it's not, and for 3 weeks, you'll be working 6 days a week, and answering customer service calls. Work life balance is horrendous, regardless of if you're on-call or work nights, you're expected in the office by 8:59am, and you're also expected to put in 8 1/2 hours in the office, regardless of the work done after-hours. All the negatives comes from the very top, not much else to say, this has been documented for years. Before there was Zuckerberg, there was Ergen.

Pros

There was absolutely nothing good about that place when I left. It used to be that the only sure, sure not good, thing was your paycheck, and the consistency of it. But even that started changing with their supposed focus on work/life balance. A.K.A they were cutting hours. So after that, THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING TO BE CONSIDERED AS A "PRO". NOTHING!

Cons

You'll struggle with absolutely everything. Disrespectful customers, useless/ heartless/ delusional management, crappy junk equipment, ridiculous sales goals, disgusting metric system, your vehicle(you don't get your own, you share the vans with other techs), horrible dispatching of jobs, everything. I've never in my life seen a company go so far out of their way to screw over its own employees, and make it so unbelievably, unbearably impossible to do your job or even consider staying there. Worst job I've ever had in my life. These employees have to be some of the saddest, loneliest people walking on this earth. You will lose everything to this company. They deserve to go under.

Pros

As an Engineer I get to design new cool things and at the same time help workers do their job easier.

Cons

Recently their has been 2 people promoted without the opening beings posted on the EDGE (or anywhere at all). We were told by HR and Management that all openings needed to be post-it on EDGE without exceptions. This would allow for people to see it then apply and actually be considered... I would've liked to applied for the manager positions but I didn't even know they were open... They just promoted their friends and buddies. They didn't (and still don't) even deserve it, I can do butter.
