Pros

Great group of employees to work with. I literally have no problems with the staff at the station. Everyone that works in the station are always very cordial and management in the building is the same. Always willing to work with you if something comes up. Benefits are there for full time employees Another pro is they will promote from with in the company. You can apply to other stations in other states for new job opportunities.

Cons

PAY! For the market that we work at we are severely underpaid and overworked. They continue to throw more work and shows at us without any adjustments to compensation or adding more crew to the staff to help with the workloads. So they’re are no incentives to stay long with them besides the possibility of a title change down the road.

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.
