Pros

You get to work in TV. Whether it is news, engineering or sales, its a great field to be in.

Cons

SBGI is a bottom-feeder company. Cheapest programming; thinnest staffing and the worst management in the country. Saying they are the Walmart of broadcasting is an insult to Walmart. You are criticized and punished for bad news ratings, when your lead in is Judge somebody or a chair-throwing screamfest, I mean talk show. This when the other folks in town have Ellen or a level of programming that gathers a more upscale and demographic friendly audience. Lots and lots of interference from headquarters, lousy equipment in the field (though transmitters and infrastructures are very good - reflecting ownership's engineering background). And be prepared to run the right wing content from Hunt Valley. Failure to do so, or or temper it in anyway is a firing offense. The company has expanded rapidly in the past few years but it hasn't created opportunity.

Pros

Flexibility with my schedule to be able to take and pick up my kids from school. Great team to work with at my location. Ability to train and do jobs outside of my regular task to get hands on experience in other areas.

Cons

Department was restructured and my position was relocated.

Pros

Job can be fun depending on if you're a natural performer. You gather valuable experience interviewing others.

Cons

Terrible pay and culture. They will likely not pay you commission for anything you sell so do not take that on. Focus on your primary job.
