Pros

Huge company, lots of room for growth and development. Opportunity exists to excel.

Cons

I have only been with the company for a little over a year. At this time, I cannot describe any cons, other than it took about 4-5 weeks to get hired. There seems to be a lot of red tape in getting anything approved through management.

Pros

The occasional TV world perk like free local tickets, etc. I can't think of anything else, but need more words so here's some more words. Yeah, it is that bad.

Cons

Management is out of touch n a local level. Corporate is even worse! Sinclair U is a ripoff that will absolutely bankrupt you in two years if you try to leave for better pay. They promise a salary with no commission for two years then, unless your management team gives you some agency biz to sustain a base, you are pretty much at zero. No care given to newer employees who have not been able to "claim" an account although zero progress made in years on it as a prospect. Constant sexual harassment if you're a woman. It is just part of the culture it seems.
