It's sad to know that this company does not care if you get injured here at their company. I got injured on the job & I email all of my restrictions to my manager when i get them. The lead on duty was never given any of this information about restrictions from the manager so they tell me to continue my job like i have no restrictions, then i end up injuring another part  & now their work comp doesn't want to cover the 2nd injury that was sustained by their lack of communication.  No one supports you at this company & The supervisors in this area are not supportive.  They put you where they want to put you & if you have ailments & ask to work in a specific area because it might be better for you they don't care.  They will put you where they want to put you. 
When trying to contact Human resources you NEVER get a response back. Managers do not respond back to you.  I have had to contact much higher up & then i did get a response, not necessarily in a timely manner but i got a response. 
i would say the hardest part of the this job is the lack of communication & the supervisors who have their title go to their head.
The best part of the job is the culture of all of the people that i have gotten to work with.  They are pretty much the only reason i am still there!
I would also like to point out that this company does NOT tell you when you apply for this job that you will ALWAYS need to rebid on your job & your hours WILL change if your hours were taken by another worker in the bid process.

I can honestly relate to some of the poor reviews that have been posted and feel compelled to share my disappointing experience with Sun Country, as a warning to others who may be considering an opportunity. My time at this company was nothing short of a disappointing time I spent there and Sun Country is certainly not the great company or employer they try portray. From the start, it became apparent that the company's claims of a positive work environment and focus on work life balance were far from the truth. Management lack basic leadership skills and seem completely detached from the needs and concerns of their employees. Decisions changed continuously, with conflicting direction by management, who then take no ownership when something failed. Their solution was to throw the employees under the bus, fostering a culture of fear and CYA at all times. A clear example of this was a rushed negotiation with a union that was celebrated by the C-Suite for its speed, but had no clarity or real meat and left to those on the ground to try and deliver on the commitments and deadlines. I would strongly advise anyone considering an opportunity with Sun Country to think twice. The negative impact on my overall well-being, my morale and my career has been has been profound, and I regret having invested my time and energy in such horrible company.

I’ve been an employee for a few months now and I have really enjoyed it for the most part. Management is solid for my position. Most of the MODs listen to your problems and will actively help out on short staffed days. It’s true the pay is lack luster but they do offer OT shifts to pick up weekly due to staffing shortages. The best thing about Sun Country is how fun it is to work there. Most of my hours fly by because I’m not bored and most of my coworkers and managers are super nice and fun to be around. If I had to complain about one thing it would be that they don’t crack down on bad employees. Many people skim along during their shifts and barely lift a finger or put in as minimal effort as possible. This makes it challenging if you are paired with them for your shift. I would argue that they need to focus on quality over quantity when hiring. The turnover rate is high, not because it’s a bad job but because the hiring process is very simple and easy to pass through so many lazy individuals make it onto the ramp and manage to stick around for months. If they actually did interviews then I feel like that wouldn’t be a problem. Overall this is probably one of the best jobs I’ve worked at and I would recommend Sun country to others. 

Sun Country offers a great opportunity to raft a number of rivers across Central Oregon while working with some of the most entertaining and engaging people you're likely to meet.  The biggest draw to working here is living in Bend.  Unlike many raft guide positions which are based out on the rivers and may require camping out for the season, Sun Country runs everything out of their Bend, OR office so you start and end your day from Bend. Since all of their trips are day trips, they don't typically offer multi-day raft trips, you can have time for friends and a life off the river.  

Also, best part about the company is the scheduling system.  While senior guides hate it, new guides get treated more or less equally.  You can reliably expect to work five to six days a week.  Senior guides don't like it because, unlike other companies that allot work by seniority, Sun Country uses a matrix system to equally distribute work.  If you are a new guide you will get more work at Sun Country than you will likely receive at any other rafting outfit in the Northwest.

Like any growing company, changes must happen and it might not always seem favorable to employees, but in all honesty, previous management was VERY lenient with employees, allowing employees to take advantage of the company.  New management treats employees fairly; all though compensation could improve. I actually enjoy working here even more now than before;  and the operational changes have affected my personal life tremendously.  You just can't hold it against management for making tough operational decisions.  If the company kept making decisions based on individual needs, there wouldn't be a company much longer!  So as an employee, don't take operational decisions personal!  I love who I work with and especially who I work for.  My job is rewarding and I love the appreciation I receive from all of management.  I would, and have recommended this company to friends and family for employment.  Plus the flight benefits have allowed me and my family to live "the high life" that we couldn't otherwise live. Vacations monthly!!

I like being a flight attendant here for the small company feel, you really get to know your fellow FAs over time and most of them are awesome people. You get to travel around the country and get paid to do it, or for free in your off time. There's lots of charter flying as well which is even more fun and easy. Most days it's an easy job and chill work environment on the plane (if nothing goes wrong). I hardly ever see or hear from management, as long as you stay in line they leave you alone. 

You start out on 24 hour reserve (on call) which really sucks, but if you're lucky you can hold a regular schedule after a few months. Everything is based on seniority. Schedules can be flexible but only if you're senior enough to get what you want/trade around. The pay is abysmally low. You only get paid for flight hours so a lot of your work time isn't even paid.  It takes a long time to make enough to be comfortable, I'm still not there 4 years in. Don't start your career here as an FA unless you have a sizeable additional income yourself or within your household. It's only worth it if you can make it through the first several years of struggle.

Low paying job in austere conditions. Most days the inside temperature hovers around 100 degrees, with multiple fans that only circulate hot air. In the warmest summer months, temperatures will reach and sometimes exceed 120 degrees. When I started as a presser, the jobs started at minimum wage and were increased based on performance. In the 14 months I spent there, I received only one pay increase…to $9.50/hr, which happened about two weeks after I started because I had experience and knew how to do the job; almost 18 months without a pay increase despite having been an assistant manager at another dry cleaners with experience in all facets of dry cleaning. Only one supervisor cares about the employees, but she’s not really a supervisor anymore. They will push you to work harder and faster for as little pay as what you are willing to do it for. Ask for more money, and they’ll replace you with someone who won’t.

Stressful and hours not as flexible as I would have wished as well as pay not enough for locations cost of living. I learned front line agent work which I did not have experience in before so a plus for the future. 
Work place culture: There are some wonderful supervisors at the company but a few others in positions of oversight that lacked some people skills. Agents should have been treated like adults but instead felt as if council was given to you as if you were a child.
Hardest part of the job: The hours and with treatment by some supervisors.
Most enjoyable. My manager really genuinely wanted my feedback and was very approachable and complimentary of my work and I was really impressed and appreciated my exit interview. I felt that I was valued.

its a great company to  work for but in the long term raises are hard to obtain and sadly nepotism does factor into getting promoted in certain departments. a typical day is coming into work and obtaining flight schedules and planning accordingly to get the job done in an orderly and timely manner. management for the most part is extremely friendly and more than willing to work with you to help you achieve your goals they will always have answers to your questions. they are extremely knowledgeable in what they do. co-workers for the most part are great and no what teamwork is. the hardest part of this job is the fact that your job is physical in nature and the pay just does not match the work load. i would have to say the most enjoyable part of the job is working with aircraft and the weather most of the time.

Being able to go to work with people that you call family, and traveling to difference cities, states and countries is already one of the best parts of the job. You also get to go on tours of the places you fly to while learning about different places in the world. It is all amazing. But those are the perks of the job. There is also the downside where you get little rest, or have flights that just don't go as planned. Running from one gate to the next in between flights so you don't miss them. You have to eat airplane food a lot when working long days, and can't stop for a lunch break. If you like working with people, enjoying your co-workers, and traveling to different places you may have never seen, then this is a great job for you.
