Sun Health

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping older adults stay independent as long as possible. Lots of caring and very competent co-workers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's often very hard work to care for seniors whose health is declining. But, it also can be rewarding. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's generally a positive environment. Lots of caring and kind people. The residents are friendly and appreciative of staff. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I worked in marketing and communications so I mostly worked at a computer. I made phone calls. I often attended meetings, interviewed staff and residents and then wrote stories/articles about them and/or their activities. I represented Sun Health in the community with civic, government and local charities. I also helped support Sun Health Foundation with marketing and event planning and execution assitance.

 Sun Health in general (corporate and communities) has a Leadership Team that talked about each other and stabbed each other in the back any chance they had. There was little to no support from management to back you up with anything when you needed them. Departments do not help each other as a team, and instead stab each other in the back constantly. Understaffed and expected to produce and completely on your own most of the time to make decisions, then criticized and questioned for those decisions.  
The training and group participation classes that HR organized was a complete waste of time on an elementary school level and mentally draining to sit through. This was the only place I ever worked in my life that HR was against the employee and was quick to blame the employee instead of working with and supporting the employees. Residents are wonderful but overall I would not recommend this company as a place to work for anyone I know.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Excellent properties for seniors built well staff is great management is wonderful. Truly all care for all the residents in the communities. You don’t find that all the time.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sun Health is a company that truly is not stressful as long as you’re doing your job properly. It’s a wonderful place to work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is wonderful. Everyone is on the same mindset of making sure everything is perfect for all of the residents that live at the communities.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day is working with my employees helping them to do their job better and continue to be with them and help them in anyway I could. It was great.

Often requested to do things outside of scheduled work hours but reprimanded for overtime and would have the subtracted from accrued PTO.  Accrual rate for PTO not generous. Unhygenic work environment. Often requested to do tasks outside of role. Discouraged when taking initiative, being professionally creative, or having any sort of self expression as an individual. Hypocritical upper management, makes me wonder the vetting process for hiring execs when  apparently they prefer to hire within the company because some of those people have no idea what they are doing and micromanage to make themselves feel superior.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the residents and the brief time of independence within a department due to the extremely high turn over rate.

This job is considered fine dining. They will usually only hire highschoolers for the serving role for dinner. each dinner shift is 5 hours long. I started out at 13.50 pay, then got a raise to 14.50 after minimum wage went up. I then got a raise to 14.94 because of the new year. I worked two shifts a week for 10 hours a week. I did not work weekends. 
There are full time positions like at the bistro (shift from 7am to 3pm) or at assisted living (morning from 0630 to 1430, and evening from 11am to 7pm) or the club dining (from 11am to 7pm).
transferring from one kitchen to another was pretty easy. 

For the main dining room, all tables are reservation only, there are 4tops and 6tops. the reservation times are 1630, 1700, 1730, and 1800. There is usually enough people on staff to someone to only serve 4 tables a night, with no double sitting. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best part was helping patients and families.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The work was fast paced and not well managed by the administrator. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely hostile.  Colleagues were not willing to help and took every opportunity to stab you in the back.  Meetings were venomous. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Completing discharges and admissions while also addressing any and all issues that patients and families have while in the rehab center.  Daily documentation and making sure EMR is up to date with all patient information.

Overall, Sun Health is a good company to work for. The employees are great to work with for the most part and all of the residents are amazing to interact with. Sadly, it seems that upper management is shifting priorities more toward profit/bottom line than employee experience. Lots of recent restructuring and cuts that sort of chip away at what used to be one of the best employment experiences in the area. It is not too late to turn this around, so hopefully they take feedback into consideration. I would still recommend Sun Health as an employer to either start out with or move up within.

- Lots of younger employees, managers focused on giving opportunities to new workers
- Flexible hours and clear work hours, schedules are posted far in advance giving time to schedule home/work balance 
- Educational support and financial support 

In all this job is great for highschool students or early college students looking to provide a stable work environment for themselves when focusing more so on other goals within their lives.

As a Administrator my day would start at 7:30 am and not end until 6 or 7 in the evening.
I was always involved with the day to day operations.
I had an open door policy with my staff.
My co-workers would tell you I work well with them.
Hardest part of the job was staffing issues
Most enjoyable was working the residents and families.

I loved it at Sun Health. the pt. and the staff was fun. A lot of the pt would just make me laugh. when i was working at Sun Health people would mistake me for someone they knew. i had an easy time getting pt to do what I wanted them to because I would remind them of someone.
