Pros

Because management doesn’t care or want to be there you can just put fake meetings on your calendar & leave for the day. That’s what most of the sales people do I. The office I worked.

Cons

Management is a joke. The 2 fools that ran the stations should have never been promoted. It’s typical corporate strategy of when an employee has shown up 40 hours a week for 5 years it’s time to get promoted. There isn’t a sales manager in the building that actually understands why a customers buys or can even train anyone to sell. Probably because your products are horrible. Just Google Datasphere to see one of the types of companies that Sinclair purchases & claims are best in class. Everyone knows Sinclair shops the clearance isle. My direct manager even said that he would never hire a company that advertises on our station because they’re wasting their money on marketing instead of the quality of their work. Another time I was told the the manager didn’t have time to discuss a deal with me because $15,000 wasn’t worth his time. But the real joke is that managers get bonuses on the number of “actions” you do in the CRM. That’s literally all they care about. You won’t make money here in sales because whenever a salesperson leaves they take all the high dollar a clients & make them house accounts.

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.
