Pros of working at Sinclair Broadcast Group

I have been able to meet so many wonderful people who have had the belief and trust in me to take on bigger projects and tasks. I have been able to become a technical director without the degree that everyone has told me to get and I have become one of the best directors at my station only behind my mentor and lead director. The benefits are really nice, I had my child early on in 2021. Not only have I had support for time off when I needed it but the people I work with actually care about the situation, and that's a nice change of pace. I now have a baby girl that needs a solid foundation and I will do anything to get there.

Cons of working at Sinclair Broadcast Group

Big corporate does not seem to care about there employees. They have laid off lots of people even with a great year in the news organization. Freezing everyone's pay and skipping out on bonuses. I want to work for an organization that will hold strong in tough times and stand by there employees

Sinclair Broadcast Group Benefits

My favorite would have to be a cross between having my own show and the health benefits for my newborn.
