Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Sinclair Broadcast Group full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Sinclair has excellent insurance and 401K benefits. The newsroom I worked in was very cohesive and very passionate about their craft.
Cons
Leadership on the local level was not great. Despite a mission statement, there was no clear direction on how to execute the brand. Use of the open door policy more often than not led to termination.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Sinclair Broadcast Group full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Generous paid vacation and sick leave, good working environment, Leader in tech advances and new processes.Generally conservative company, but local station dictates views somewhat.
Cons
Growth centered, sometimes'forgets' older stations on the path to growth and acquisition of new stations. Growth outpaces managements ability to stay on top of some things. Stations are sales driven, everything else comes behind that, and that message is pushed from the top down. Budgets get cut and tightened, but upper management still has budgets for lavish overseas trips every year.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Sinclair Broadcast Group full-time for less than a year
Pros
Resources and self driven marketing and sales opportunity. Growth and Salary potential is virtually limitless.
Cons
If you have any personal or life issues take care of them before you start. There's no room for personal conflict to get in your way, it's cut throat so you have to let go of any "at home" or medical issues prior to joining.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Sinclair Broadcast Group full-time for more than a year
Pros
This is a secretary role for professionals with a HS diploma/GED. The work is mundane and there is no room for upward mobility. The work can be complicated but if you have a bachelor's degree or higher you will simply not have the patience for the BS that comes with this job. Espcially from upper management.
Cons
Terrible management. Have to fight your own battles with not support from your manager even though he will agree with you behind closed doors.
