Pros

I've been with the company for nearly 10 years and they've made great strides in that time. First, they are always looking internally for talent. If there's not an opportunity for you to grow in your current market, there are stations throughout the country. They've increased their benefits including: (3 weeks vacation after 5 years and 4 weeks after 10 years) (80% paid maternity leave) (wellness program). Positive culture.

Cons

With any company, some locations/stations have a negative culture or struggle with other issues like staffing. This is sometimes caused by the GM in charge locally. The company has an open door policy but many don't take advantage of reporting issues up the ladder.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

In my experience, Sinclair has consistently expected employees to absorb significantly increased workloads without providing compensation that reflects those additional responsibilities. Operators are routinely asked to manage the work that would traditionally be distributed among multiple positions, while compensation has failed to keep pace with either the scope of the role or the rising cost of living. Annual wage adjustments have not meaningfully reflected inflation, resulting in a steady decline in employees' purchasing power despite increased expectations and operational demands. This has created an environment where dedication and expanded responsibilities are met with minimal financial recognition. I am also deeply concerned by the company's apparent strategy of shifting Media Operations Center (MOC) functions overseas in pursuit of lower labor costs. While organizations certainly have the right to pursue cost efficiencies, doing so at the expense of experienced domestic employees sends a clear message about where the company's priorities lie. From my perspective, this approach prioritizes short-term cost reduction over employee retention, institutional knowledge, and long-term operational excellence. It reflects a business philosophy that places financial savings ahead of investing in the people who have consistently delivered the work required to keep operations running successfully.
