Pros

There are no pros whatsoever.

Cons

Racist, sexist, union busting, no interest in quality journalism, only want to use the station and its employees to further their right wing agenda. Directed to do smear pieces on other media outlets. Morale hit an all time low once they bought the station from Fisher and never returned.

Pros

The team I had the pleasure of working with in the office in Los Angeles was amazing, the location and the work space was nice. Basic 9-5 hours. So no taking work home. I'll add that its a Great job, i guess, for people who enjoy being belittled, spoken to condescendingly, being blamed for everything, being responsible for everyone else's mistakes, & never being appreciated.

Cons

It's hard to decide where to begin. This is hands down one of the most poorly run company you could ever work for. Merger after merger has left this company a mess and a nightmare for employees. - To begin with you will have too many bosses. All of whom expect different things from you. Follow one's advice and you'll get yelled at by someone else. - Do a good job, and you will be handed more work without more compensation. - Have a problem or a question, good luck finding someone to help.. because there are so many different departments with overlapping authority everyone will just pass the buck. - Watch money get tossed down the toilet with outdated and inefficient corporate policies as you make just a tiny bit over Los Angeles minimum wage. - Vindictive corporate supervisors who will promote and give special treatment to their friends and punish you if you dare point it out. - Endless mind numbing repetition and pointless paperwork - Have good idea? Keep it to yourself because it surely is against policy and you'll get told no and the face the wrath of insecure cooperate employees who are just terrified of rocking the boat and losing their jobs too. - Poor training that covers maybe 10% of what you really need to know and believe it or not you will be told its against the rules to ask other coworkers for help.

Horrible work environment

Pros

The tech is cool and they have some good ideas. There are good people here, but they are islands in the storm.

Cons

Horrible work-life-balance, abusive workplace, complete lack of appreciation. Terrible benefits that take forever to get. Nepotism, cronyism, and misogyny are serious issues at Sinclair Digital. Promises made that aren't kept.
