      Could be a great company if there were more leaders and less managers.

      Pros

      The nations largest private broadcast television group. It functions more like a cable network or network affiliate than a television group. There are plenty of relocation and job opportunities located across the country in desirable areas such as Tampa, Las Vegas, Baltimore/Washington, Minneapolis, and Nashville.

      Cons

      Lack of diversity in upper management. Sinclair truly is a good ol' boy organization. You'd be hard pressed to find a person of color (or women) on any management team, either on the station level or on the executive level located in hunt valley. For an organization of its size, it is completely unacceptable for their to be no diversity or inclusion in the management or executive ranks. Another con for the company is the pervasive "us" vs. "them" mentality that prevails throughout the company. What I mean is that stations don't really trust corporate and corporate really doesn't respect the stations...or at least that is the sentiment that many of the subordinates who toil in the doldrums of Sinclair feel.

      Opportunity to learn from the ground up but pay is at the lower end of the scale.

      Pros

      Training on the job with no prior experience. Opportunities to learn above and beyond the basic job requirements, if you take the initiative. Fair and understanding management.... very accessible. Decent time off (paid and unpaid). Good PPO health care options.

      Cons

      Pay is at the bottom end of the scale compared to other stations in the Las Vegas area. Pay raises are minuscule (Standard is .25 per year). Pay raise freezes because of the economy. Expansion of the stations channels has lead to a dramatic increase in work load with no additional compensation.
