Sinclair Broadcast Group reviews

1) For what you have to do, and the hours you put in, the base salary is laughable. 2) Don't ever expect to get a sales bonus. If you do, consider yourself lucky. 3) Upper management at corporate all want blood from a turnip. They have no idea what actually happens at the station level. They will also tell you how much of a POS you are for missing budget, or not selling spot or new business. 4) If you have any kind of skills at all, it's not worth the stress and headaches you'll put up with on a daily basis. 5) There's absolutely no training. And when you need to ask the corporate ops team how to do something - they won't tell you. Just call you stupid for doing it wrong when you have no choice but to fumble it because no one gave you directions.

Brown nosing rewarded better than competence. Too many non-editorial people making editorial decisions. I have witnessed bad reporting and journalism firsthand. Management reluctant to rid departments of bad people. They would rather deal with replacing competent workers who get fed up and quit instead of dealing with the one subpar worker cited as the reason for departures. My department of 8 lost half its workers and still the bad employee is going strong. Horrible benefits for major metropolitan areas. 90 day probation before benefits kick in. Low pay plus minimal 2 weeks vacation and 5 sick days is a recipe for disaster in this overworked environment. 401k match and raises are measly. I fear, with SBG's growth, other media companies will follow suit. Oh and there's the sexist, racist, right wing agenda.
