YOUR
PLACE IN THE SUN
We think there's something different about Sun
that makes our company an especially good place to start a career— and an even better place to build one.
Like all growth‑minded corporations, we're
constantly searching for new people whose talents, energy, and enthusiasm
can contribute significantly to Sun's plans for the future. But we're
Interested in your personal future as well. We'll encourage
you to write a career plan for yourself, and we're committed to providing
processes to help you execute that plan in the specific areas that
interest you most.
We know that salary is important to you. And
we think you'll find Sun very competitive in terms of initial starting
salaries and very realistic in the timing of performance reviews. Specific
policies vary among the Sun operating units so we advise you to discuss
the subject during your employment interview.
We also understand that benefit programs are
more important today than ever before. It is the practice of the Sun
companies to make available to their employees a range of benefit plans
consistent with their needs and supportive of the objectives of the
organization.
These benefits can include: paid holidays, paid
vacations, assistance with medical, dental, and hospital costs, life
insurance and disability programs, a savings plan, payment of some
college costs, and retirement income assistance. The particular benefit
programs of any one Sun subsidiary are, of course, determined by the
management of that company. The programs are too detailed to be described
here, but the individual companies will be glad to provide you with
this information.
Beyond those basic areas, Sun provides programs
and policies designed to help its employees gain the most from their
work environment and their careers at Sun.
As you learn more about your individual talents
and aptitudes, we're ready to help you develop them. Sun Institute
is an in‑company learning center which offers qualified people
the opportunity to expand their management skills and their knowledge
in a variety of disciplines. Many types of outside educational assistance
programs are also available.
In addition, Sun's Human Resources Development
Committees ensure that people with leadership qualities and professional
talents receive specific exposure to varied business situations and
special educational opportunities in order to help them realize their
full capability.
There can be opportunities to join other subsidiaries
later or to change
your responsibilities within your company. Through
Sun's Internal Placement System (IPS), you'll have the chance to move
into other positions, to tackle different kinds of problems, to change
geographic locations, if you qualify. A detailed description of IPS
and Sun Institute can be found on page 24 of this brochure.
You might also be interested in our Summer and
Co‑Op programs. Many college students use these as a way to test
their career plans. For information about available openings, write
directly to the company which interests you or ask your college placement
office for details. Sun Production, Sun Gas, and Sun Petroleum Products
are the most active Sun companies in this area.
Finally we want to affirm that
Sun offers opportunities to all qualified men and women without regard
to race, color, religion, national origin, age or disability. We are
an equal opportunity employer in much more than a legal sense.
