Pros

Good experience for an entry level jobs. Co-workers are very friendly and easy to get along with, which makes your work day much more enjoyable. Big company so it can look good on your resume. Good benefits and it's a very stable company.

Cons

Low pay. Micro-managed. No room for growth. The only way to grow within the company is if someone above you quits. Promotions can be based on personal relationships rather than professional relationships. No raises. Management can be extremely unprofessional at times.

Pros

They will hire you with little to no experience. Good bonus structure.

Cons

BEWARE of Sinclair U. You learn some things but thats it. If you leave it costs you $5000 (last paycheck or pay them) to get out of the contract. If they accidentally pay you they'll claim you still owe them. Management are "YES" men and women to corporate. Never trust a Sinclair manager. They're out to save their own skin.
