Pros

The company has no pros concerning its employees. They do not provide a living wage to there employees while making a billion dollar profit annually.

Cons

Maintenance Techs, should have a starting rate of at least 15/hr. The Maintenance Supervisor should start at $18/hr. Both based of of experience in the field. Paying your Maintenance Techs $12/hr with 30 cent yearly raises is a slap in the face. No wonder the turnover at this position is extremely high. First of all at $12/hr you can't attract the right personel to apply for the position. Then if you do, 30 cents a year, with no incentives as far as rent bonuses, or sale bonuses, like the office people receive, then u won't keep them.

Pros

My coworkers are great and most have been with Sun for many years (which speaks volume on the kind of company Sun is, in a good way). The support I get from my team, is appreciated. The pay is decent and lot rent discount is appreciated as well. Hours are typical for my position. I think Sun is a good company to work for, if you are looking for a permanent long-term position.

Cons

It's a lot of work at our property due to multiple storms causing damage to the community, so it is hard to leave on time because there is always something to do. Working traditional office hours +some, it is hard to make it to appointments and being new I definitely don't want to miss any work.
