Fine, but better if you're white - Marketing Consultant Sinclair Broadcast Group Employee Review

Pros

It's a giant company that has solid benefits and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. They try as best they can to keep up with savvier competition, and keep investing. They also took excellent care of their employees during the COVID Crisis. If you are white, Republican, and very good at sales, there's really no drawback.

Cons

Let's put it this way: If you work for Sinclair in any capacity, you either agree with the Trumpy culture or have your morals take a backseat. The higher up you go, the more extreme it has to be. This results in a lot of racist management and decision-makers. During my 5+ year career in a multicultural market, not one POC was hired to any management position during any time, and almost every black person who left the company files an official report that they felt racially prejudiced. Even white, liberal, employees have complained about being politically targeted my management -- but the job can be so subjective, management can make up just about anything to fire you "with cause." If you have another solid choice and you're anything but white and conservative, I suggest taking the alternative.

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.
