Pros

decent benefits, typically have more than one choice a provider actually- decent hours but in return you're not making $. Some ppl. get a 1st year flat amount somewhere 45,00 or <

Cons

Contract is 3 years...to be stuck in something so awful, don't do it (FIRST RED FLAG). Terrible disappointment. Alot of the reviews on here are true to form. They don't pay gas or any car allowance (2nd red flag), and last but not least they don't tell you they keep your last pay check- plus vaca. and sick until a couple days before your two weeks . That is, IF one finishes their two weeks. Mngmnt. has ver poor communication and their anger and frustration is released on employees due to stress. Leads are poor and the majority of National/Regional or even solid local leads are giving to employees who have been there the longest. Favoritism by senior mgnmnt. to older employees. This company needs to rethink their compensation and what valued employee really means.

Pros

From sales standpoint, the company does invest in its people. Make no mistake, SBG is a sales company first and foremost, and a broadcaster operating in the public good second.

Cons

See pros. Top line rev is the bottom line. Outside of sales, look elsewhere. Senior management hasn't changed its philosophy in 30 years.
