Pros

Sinclair owns A LOT of stations, so there is much opportunity to make lateral moves and stay within the company. They really take care of their own and want you to succeed. Health insurance is fantastic.

Cons

401(k) is awful. Basically, for what they offer, you'll retire at 80.

Pros

Variety of benefit options. Somewhat good work/life balance

Cons

There are some big ego's in Management. Management is very quick to down someone but very slow on positive actions. They will tell you what you want to hear, but don't count on their words. Moral is the lowest I have ever seen. SBG needs to be more cognizant of the people they hire and the personalities that come with those individuals. Their is definitely an I in team in my department. Some employees are very petty and they make sure you know that they do not like you. It is difficult to approach HR as they are somewhat childish and will mock you when speaking to them. What I see going on in other departments and the treatment good and loyal employees recieve in those departments is extremely upsetting.
