Cons
Management sucks and they don't do anything about the bad ones, they have a very conservative agenda so if you don't fall within that view, it can be difficult to deal with. You have a lot of editing to do to maintain unbiased coverage locally.

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.
