Pros

Sinclair provides their sales teams with cutting edge tools, helping to set themselves apart from competitors when it comes to research and solutions for current and prospective clients. They believe in moving forward and have embraced the challenges facing most legacy broadcast groups by developing several proprietary digital opportunities for business to reach their targeted customers.

Cons

Management spends more time in corporate meetings discussing issues than they do out in the field actually addressing the client issues. They need to be more client facing.
