Pros

There are some good people at least at the station level in this company. The health insurance is fairly decent, but you do pay for it. They also offer a discount with a major mobile phone company. You can get started in a field here since they don't need a lot of experience, sometimes no experience is needed. This used to be a good place to start in broadcasting, get some experience and then move on to something better. The problem is Sinclair is constantly buying up more and more stations, giving people fewer options for other companies to join.

Cons

The pay is low. Sinclair is well-known in the broadcasting industry for low salaries. Since they hire people with no experience who are willing to work for the cheap salary you end up dealing with people who either don't know what they are doing or are just bad at their jobs. Those who are hired who are talented usually leave as soon as they find a better offer.
