Pros

Family owned beautiful buildings. They have a lot of cool things coming down the pipeline with city center on the way. It will be cool to be a part of that.

Cons

Organizational structure is confusing. Not clearly defined job descriptions. People seem to keep secrets and focus only on their roll. Not much lateral thinking to be found here. They are a construction company and a property management company but have not found a harmonious balance between the two departments. Construction runs the show and property management follows along. There is a culture of manage by panic. The newest emergency is the most important emergency. I would advise staying clear for a while. There is a lot of cultural change that has to happen.

Pros

I had a great time working at Sunset. It's one of the jobs I think back on a lot and realize I learned so much from that experience. Sunset likes to say that they are a family friendly company - that was certainly my experience during my few years there. I had an amazing bond with my team and the projects we worked on were very exciting, such as City Center and the Round House. I left before those projects came to fruition but it always gives me a sense of satisfaction when I am in town and see them for myself. Sunset Development has a long and storied history and I have a lot of respect for the founding family and the work they have done to make it such a great success.

Cons

No workplace is perfect. I struggled with the insurance benefits and some of the office politics, but in the end - the good outweighed the bad for me. It's possible all that has ironed out since my departure. There are many workers who have been there for 20, 30 years and that's rare to see in companies these days, and I think it speaks to the care the owners put into the business and employees. At Sunset, you get what you give - if you are loyal and willing to work hard, they treat you well. If not, well...you're not gonna have a good time.
