Pros

I can't think of one.

Cons

There is no supervision of Regional Vice Presidents or DVP, there is no actual training. Disciplinary action instead of training. Live on site? You are an indentured servant!

Pros

The local team members with Sun are fantastic - there is a sense of camaraderie that I have not found in any other industry or job setting, and you develop lifelong friends and relationships.

Cons

When I started with Sun, it was a growth- and people-oriented business with the primary focus on the folks that worked for the company and the folks the company worked for...excellent company. Over the last couple of years, though, there has been a noticeable downhill trend on all fronts and it hasn't gone unnoticed. The demand on employees has risen exponentially, but the pay scales continue to drop and there is little-to-no recognition for accomplishments. Support from senior management is declining, and even business ethics have come into question more and more.

Sun Communities....the best property management company I have ever worked for.

Pros

Senior Management listens to it's onsite managers. The benefits are good, the salary is very fair and working conditions are great. There is plenty of support from superiors at all levels all the way to the top. Everyone is treated fairly. They pay their bills in a very timely manner. Contractors always want to work with Sun. Regional management is always available in person or by cell phone for support. It is truly a TEAM company.

Cons

Wish there was more opportunity for advancement within the company or more notice when there is an opening at another property that you might want to transfer to. Other than that there is no downside to this great company.
