Pros

Insurance, PTO, & pay are all good (which is why I personally rate it 2 stars instead of 1)...however, that only goes so far when your team has no cohesion and you're not apart of anything whatsoever. Since being forced to WFH, it's been showing all of the cracks within various teams, and it's transparently obvious that a ton of folks have been coasting.

Cons

Upper management either is out of the picture, or has no patience to work with you. No trust between teams, no open communication, and it feels like you're walking on eggshells with whoever you talk to. Too many people are only here for a paycheck. Not only that, but I have never seen upward growth - you're more or less stuck in the position for years until you jump ship for something better.

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.
