Sunland RV Resorts

I worked at Sunland RV Resorts full-time


Pros
It’s a powerful feeling, to belong and lead a small team. It’s inspiring people to do more than they thought they could. It’s leading the way by rolling up your sleeves to accomplish a common goal. It’s taking a passion and turning it into your vision and turning it into the teams vision. This is the opportunity that is given to every employee. You must be a self starter, self motivator and very resilient. Avoid the drama that comes when working within a team.


Cons
Having been successful for the past thirty years, they are slow to embrace change. They allow employees that have been there for ages to challenge new employee ideas until they just give up.

This review has an ironic aspect to it, since I was let go for encouraging employees past & present to write reviews. If you search our competitors, they all have reviews some good, some bad. A true reflection of a company and what millennials are looking for.

Companies should embrace their business social profiles as much as they do Facebook.com and Twitter.com.. Applicants are tech savvy and this can make the difference in attracting the best candidates.


Advice to Management
The President needs to recognize that there is minimum cooperation between the Executive Committee since they are all working on their own agenda. Some put their heart and soul into your company because they love their resorts and co-workers. Make sure that your inner circle is making the right choices out of passion and not protecting their turf.

Cons

Having been successful for the past thirty years, they are slow to embrace change. They don't accept the reality of the properties that they own.  Some amazing and others, basis no-frills urban living.   President offers employment candidates unlimited growth and bonus opportunities but then doesn't follow through with commitments.  


Advice to Management

The Executive office needs to appreciate the Operations team and recognize the value in them.  High turnover is extremely disruptive and happens when people don't feel appreciated.  Management also needs to follow Labor Laws, live up to their promises and understand the properties that they own.

I was very excited to work here as I was in an environment that I felt happy and comfortable in. The problem I had was that my management was unwilling to work with my schedule, unwilling to look into valid company issues I presented them, and I received 3 hours total training (which is not enough). They had said to me "If you see your coworker do something incorrect, please don't confront [management] nor coworker, please just fix the problem for them"... My personal information had been disclosed by the manager there.The management is extremely unprofessional and there were times I was screamed at by them. Bad experience. Company is falling apart and will overwork you. The employees working at the bottom are wonderful people that are keeping this establishment running but there is an aggressive sense of hierarchy within management at Sunland RV.

-I work as maintence, and a typical day consists  of making sure the property looks nice, the landscape is maintain and anything not working properly gets fixed. 
-What I learn in this job is many life skills such as electricity, landscaping designs, and plumbing. 
-My manager is a very nice man, he is very flexible with my hours and vacations, he makes me feel good about my job and praises my work when he thinks i've done a good job. 
I dont think there is a hard thing about this job, as long as you are willing to learn, the job is fairly easy. 
-What I enjoy the most of this company is my type of job, and the security of the hours I work, rarely changing, the hrs and job is very steady and consistent.

I love this company.  I have now worked for the company for years and have found the executive team, management team,  and our coworkers extremely supportive.  

I have been promoted 4 times within the company, transferred to my preferred locations, and feel extremely comfortable working here.

The President of the company encourages and supports continued education, professional and personal growth, and takes the time to shape the company as the industry environment changes.  

If I were to describe the management style in the company in one word, I would say "inclusive".

I feel very fortunate to have found Sunland RV Resorts, and grateful to have my current role in the company.

Like in all jobs, there is good and bad here at sunland. For example, for me, this job has been the best job I have ever had, my work schedule is very flexible, management works with you to be able to get your vacations when you want them and overall they take care of their employees really good. 
One of the ways sunland could improve would definately  be to be trained every once in a while on areas that could make my work much better, for example new landscaping techniques, irrigation systems and such to be able to be better for sunland. 
Other than that, I love working for thre company.

I have been with Sunland for about 4 months now, and I am very happy and excited to work for this company. I have meet wonderful people here, everyone helps each other and management is always available. They care about their employees and work with them to ensure they are happy as well as growing both personally and professionally. I am a recent Graduate student in Business Administration and did not have any experience besides customer service, Sunland gave me the opportunity to start somewhere and set my foot on the door. I am hoping to grow with this company in many ways, but most importantly in growing my professional portfolio and income.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Opportunity to be creative. The company is continuously looking for opportunities to grow.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Staying relevant in the industry with an aging asset.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Constantly changing. A little too much turnover within corporate and operations at the facilities.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Greet guests and walk the entire site. Then the normal checking emails looking at finances returning phone calls.

I'm currently employed by Sunland RV Resorts.  The company has been heavily focused on staff training and development. The company has also promoted professional growth since day one which is what I was looking for when I first started.  The company believes in outstanding guest experiences.  San Diego attracts guests from all over the world.  Meeting new guests on a daily basis has been an enjoyable part of the job.  I look forward to continuing my personal and professional journey with Sunland RV Resorts.

Managing a motorcoach resort is a niche environment.  Experience in real estate, property management and construction has helped me along the way.  I learn something every day and that has made me grow more.  I am thankful for upper management that is approachable and wants us all to succeed.  

I love growing relationships with our owners and guests.  It truly is a family atmosphere in all scopes!
