Sinclair Broadcast Group Reviews

Cons

We have several stations in our market. Workload can be high on some days such as working solo and running up to three live games at the same time can be tasking. But with the right work ethic and strong experience, it becomes easy, kind of like learning to play a musical instrument. Time flies.

Cons

Too much nepotism, especially in management and higher level positions. If problems arise, other managers avoid addressing the friends and family of the owners.

Cons

Favoritism
Product needs some work
Bad yelp reviews

Cons

I personally know some people that used to work for Walmart or still work there. Sinclair reminds me a lot of how Walmart operates based on what I've heard about that company. They are coming up with some innovation ideas and solutions, but mostly for the purpose of saving money and reducing staff.
SBG's ultimate goal is the very definition of central control management. Every decision of any note has to go through a top level manager, a regional director, and sometimes even the central corporate office. And because the managers and directors are human (for now) they are overloaded and it is almost impossible to ever get a decision in a timely manner.
Decisions made at the corporate office are non-negotiable, not matter what kind of case is made from the local stations that certain actions don't make sense for their market. Regional directors will privately say, "I agree this is stupid, but this is coming from the top level so just do it. And when it fails maybe they will let us change this." Great, and in the mean time our stations will get beat up for not completing some C-level officer's "vision" that didn't make sense for our viewing markets.
News talent with any credibility sometimes pass on a job offer when they find out we are owned by Sinclair or they bolt as soon as their contract comes up, and they will be unhappy during most of their time they are locked in their contract. (On a side note, I have not seen that much interference at the local news level but any interference is still too much. It's definitely not as bad as John Oliver or others make it seem).

Cons

Too many corporate bodies and structures.

Cons

Performance review not done but doesn't matter because raise not based on performance.

Cons

Backlash from viewers on must-runs; outdated camera equipment

Cons

Horribly run company. Don’t waste your time. Find a media company that cares. I heard Hearst is a great company to work for.

Cons

Corporate
Management
Micro management
Nepotism & favoritism
Corporate is ultra cheap. Many stations have VERY antiquated systems and equipment that they refuse to upgrade
Corporate say the have wonderful people but in reality corporate treats station's employees poorly. They are paranoid and refuse to let decisions get made at local levels.
Management is all about who you know and has nothing to do with what you know!
Many political games played on the corporate level and upper management at station level.
They grew too big too fast
Make this company your LAST option!!
Way too top heavy with managers at station level.
Too many more to list

Cons

i cant think of any
