      Field Service Technician Interview

      27 Oct 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Memphis, TN
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at EchoStar (Memphis, TN) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      2 step interview process. Pretty straight forward with a primary interview to determine if you’re eligible and then an interview with an area supervisor to hire. Now I did get hired but I was told different things by 3 different people. The interviewer, the area manager, and the onboarding manager. And due to the confusion I am unable to follow through with the job. Basically I was told I would be compensated to travel for work, and the day before I find I’m not being compensated. It’s a 70+ mile drive one way to attend training and then a week in Georgia and I have to eat the travel costs myself, then submit my travel costs, and then I still wasn’t told when I would be compensated. I don’t know if that’s immediately after training or if it will be 3-6 months down the line. I also wasn’t told exactly how they determine the compensation. They also don’t offer any per diem whatsoever for traveling out of state. So again more front costs I had to take on. And for those reasons I am unable to accept the job. Other than that you have to have a clean driving record, clean back ground, and pass a drug test.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are saddened to hear about the confusion around travel compensation. We strive to provide clarity and consistency for all of our candidates. For our Field Technicians, we do provide reimbursement for the cost of driving to attend training. We also offer the option of flying our new Field Technicians to the training location, at no cost. Our field technicians are also provided meals or reimbursement for meals during their training. We appreciate your time and wish you the best in your job search.
