Pros

Good place for a job right out of college - for the title on a resume only. Teaches you to toughen up and to stand up for yourself when necessary. If you are a sensitive person, I guarantee you will leave a stronger person.

Cons

Terrible attitudes, Management is completely unprofessional and will throw anyone under the bus instead of taking ownership of a mistake. AE's are lazy and are promised things that fall through and then treat the assistants like garbage. They expect an unimaginable work load and are very strict on getting to work before 8am and expect you to be actively working before 8am and all the way until 5pm, even you don't have anything left to do. So they expect you to show up before 8am and if you still have not finished your overfilled workload by 5, they expect you to stay past 5 and not get paid overtime. Also upon leaving the HR employee was completely unprofessional and ended up gossiping about me to corporate while in front of my friend/current employee. They also promised to pay for my accrued vacation hours and upon receiving my check, I was only paid for my time worked. I had come in contact with the local HR, and 3 various employees in the corporate HR department and was left in the dark COMPLETELY for 2 weeks (a total of a month after I had left). Overall, don't work here if you don't want to get paid a very low wage with an unbearable amount of work and stress. Employee morale is at an all-time low and management is NOT open to any suggestions to improve it. DO NOT WORK HERE (unless you have just graduated college). Only good if you want to toughen up and get a huge smack in the face with dealing with a terrible company.

Flexibility with my schedule to be able to take and pick up my kids from school. Great team to work with at my location. Ability to train and do jobs outside of my regular task to get hands on experience in other areas.

Cons

Department was restructured and my position was relocated.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

In my experience, Sinclair has consistently expected employees to absorb significantly increased workloads without providing compensation that reflects those additional responsibilities. Operators are routinely asked to manage the work that would traditionally be distributed among multiple positions, while compensation has failed to keep pace with either the scope of the role or the rising cost of living. Annual wage adjustments have not meaningfully reflected inflation, resulting in a steady decline in employees' purchasing power despite increased expectations and operational demands. This has created an environment where dedication and expanded responsibilities are met with minimal financial recognition. I am also deeply concerned by the company's apparent strategy of shifting Media Operations Center (MOC) functions overseas in pursuit of lower labor costs. While organizations certainly have the right to pursue cost efficiencies, doing so at the expense of experienced domestic employees sends a clear message about where the company's priorities lie. From my perspective, this approach prioritizes short-term cost reduction over employee retention, institutional knowledge, and long-term operational excellence. It reflects a business philosophy that places financial savings ahead of investing in the people who have consistently delivered the work required to keep operations running successfully.
