      Good Place to Start

      Newscast director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Being a fresh college graduate Sinclair was a great place to start. If you're looking to relocate, Sinclair basically owns every other station across the country so it's not difficult to find a place to go. Started part-time barely over minimum wage and not making that much more being full-time and a director. Thankful to have benefits, but standard dental plan is bizarrely low.

      Cons

      Low pay. Been understaffed since I have been hired and today we are still understaffed to the point where employees including myself frequently work 7 days a week. Management is focusing on lower priorities instead of their employees.

      No communication for a communications business

      Production assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working in news, every day is different and exciting and it's never dull. You work with some great personalities and have a lot of fun.

      Cons

      Obviously the hours suck, but that's news. The biggest thing is that, as a production assistant, it's a lot of waiting around. You're there for the show and, unless the producers have something for you to do, you just sit there for three hours until the next show. Management lacks communication skills and you never know hat you're supposed to be doing on days when there's big events going on. I got yelled at for missing a day a month and a half later when I thought my boss and I had already worked it out. It's the little things that slowly drive you mad here and want to leave. The devil is in the details.
