Vantaggi

It's high tech, and gives good experience for a resume. If you have the initiative to learn you can learn all you want. They don't want you to work over 40 hours a week in most jobs, so you still have time for family depending on your shift. They give 6 paid holidays, which means if you are scheduled to work it you get doubletime or a different day off. Tuition reimbursement, but it comes at the end of the semester after you get your grades and they have to be C or better.

Svantaggi

Pay, Pay, Pay, Pay and Pay, don't be a sucker at salary negotiation. Benefits are junk, but at least the company got a car in NASCAR-sarcasm. The management always says they are trying to help you out and improve the workplace and the pay, then they turn around and say we can't justify a raise to the compensation committee because other people got raises or they hire some bonehead off the street who doesn't know anything about SatCom and pay him 13000 a year more then current employees who they don't feel they need to give raises to. There are lots of politics so you better be a yes man, do not think for yourself.

Vantaggi

Great perks, overtime available at times, great co workers and love helping customers

Svantaggi

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.
