Pros

Good money from commissions. Their software is pretty cool too! Honestly their is nothing else with saying that is positive.

Cons

Everything else! They bring you on, get you all motivated, then start a downward spiral of demeaning and bullying you! I can't say it's overall the company's fault, but the really ghetto on site staff will attempt to rob you, and discredit you name in the business. The worst experience of my life! Oh and watch out, you will be required to lie to residents, steer, and follow the managements lead on breaking many fair housing laws for fear of loosing your job! The staff is more concerned about their pathetic social lives rather then doing their jobs.

Pros

Great place to work from Corporate down. Strong leadership with fantastic and fun people to work with. It's nice to know that our corporate team is so open and available and really listens to their employees. We work hard but we play hard too! We have Fun days during the summer; purpose days where we give back to the community together; exceptional Holiday party where we all fly up north for a wonderful time together. Fantastic training classes to keep us all up on everything new and to keep our teams on top! Can't say enough about the experience of working for Sequoia!

Cons

Benefit pricing k high for employees with families. Discount on apartment not enough. Rent in some areas is very high and even though our salaries are great they are not enough to afford to live where we work. We get great raises but at the same time we get a rent increase that wipes the raise away.

Pros

The company offers great benefits such as rental discounts, company paid vision and dental, excess days off, opportunities to grow and earn bonuses and more! Almost every one I have met has a similar mindset with respect for others and the residents they serve, and I genuinely feel this is a company I could work for for years!

Cons

Boasting record sales while taking away the 3 hour paid Sunday schedule and rest and recharge days was super disappointing! There seems to be a disconnect between corporate and the properties on that front, as well as increasing resident-facing fees across the properties with no forewarning or clear explanation to give to residents, meaning they react with their anger towards the on-site team.
