Pros
Sequoia Equities has been the best job I have ever had. The positive experience started during the interview process. I spoke with a member of the marketing team who was able to answer all of my questions given I was completely changing careers had I been lucky enough to get the job. She assured me that there was plenty of training opportunities to take advantage of which made me feel confident that Sequoia was prepared to offer me a new career, not just an interim job. I was honest with the interviewers that I was ready to commit to a company that would facilitate my growth when deserved and in turn I would give 110% every day in order to ensure I was learning and growing daily. Sequoia kept their promise. I worked hard for them at the entry level and in-turn, I took every learning opportunity to grow. I found mentors within the business and grew my relationships with members of the corporate office. When I was ready for a change and to move up the ladder, Sequoia Equities listened. They cross-trained me on site, and my managers pushed me to interview for new positions. With this growth came change. When you work in property management, you have to be flexible. I was ready to GO (literally move) to the opportunity rather than waiting for it to come to me. This move was supported by the company and they appreciated the sacrifices that I have made for them. Appreciation is key here. They never steered me away from the opportunity given I was not local to the promotion. Over the course of the past 2 ½ years in working with Sequoia, I have promoted and grown with the help and support of my managers - both on a site level and regional level. The Executive Team has known my first name since day 1 and I am no exception to the rest of my coworkers. Most recently, I have promoted into the Corporate Office. While being on-site managing our beautiful apartment communities was an amazing opportunity, my Regional Portfolio Manager mentored me into applying for the promotion, giving me the confidence I needed to continue my growth. What I love about working for Sequoia Equities is the experience. I LOVE my job and that is very important to me and to my overall happiness. My coworkers are amazing both in the office and in our communities; I am truly lucky and look forward to a long career with the organization.
Cons
I have nothing negative to say about my company. I work hard and am supported at every turn and in turn, hard work is always acknowledged and rewarded.
