Pros
Sinclair is much better than advertised. I've learned over the years not to trust everything you read about a company in the gossip sites or trade publications. I did my own research. I talked to current employees, spoke to industry experts and made an informed decision to take my talents to Sinclair. Pro-tip: There is a tremendous amount of room for growth. We are an enormous company that likes to promote from within. We are very transparent, have an open-door policy and decent benefits and bonuses for some employees. My newsroom is a very happy one, with people who enjoy what they're doing. We have great leadership that cares about our people and our product. I'm very happy here.
Cons
We do have "must run" packages that can appear slanted. They're really not that bad. You may have to move around the country if you want to improve your lot at Sinclair. Because there are so many stations, opportunities for upward mobility often come at the price of picking up and moving yourself and/or your family. Benefits, like many other groups, start after you've worked at the company for three months. That's tough if you have a family because COBRA is pretty much cost prohibitive.
