Pros

Front line employees care and want to make it a better place to work.

Cons

Top heavy organization , seems like there are more mangers than workers in some departments. Local management team lacks focus and is unwilling or unable to help. Mangers are more interested in attaining bonuses rather that providing better product solutions or service to clients or creating a better environment for their employees. As a result, products are forced on clients in order to meet sales goals and company agenda. Sales goals are unrealistic and do not reflect current market conditions. High turnover rate over the past few years made it impossible to build trust as you never know who will be gone next. Little to no cooperation between departments. Blatant right-wing agenda is pushed on local news team making us lose trust with viewers and bringing down morale. Work-life balance is nonexistent, you are on call 24-7.

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.
