Pros

The company culture is incredibly inviting. Hard work gets noticed and you truly feel appreciated. They spend a lot of time developing all staff when first hired so you feel comfortable and confident in your new role. Ample paid time off and sick time are offered. You can tell that work/life balance is important. They even give us our birthdays off and offer 3 Purpose Days a year where we can volunteer our time to a local charity or non-profit in lieu of working in the office. You get $750 a year to buy new Career Wear from approved stores/brands. They give you all the tools and communicate often to ensure all properties are performing at peak level for their residents. They expect all employees to perform at a high level, and to uphold their company pillars. Doing the right thing and being a good person is important to Sequoia. As if what was mentioned before wasn't enough, Sequoia truly goes above and beyond for their team members. Each year, the top sales performers and Elevate Award Winners are treated to a weekend trip to Vegas where they are given a beautiful room at a swanky hotel, spending cash, and swag bags. The best part is that you get to bring a loved one along to share in the fun, and are honored at a dinner with top executives and other award winners and sales producers. The Elevate Award Winners are chosen each year at our Holiday Luncheon where the company flies all team members to Northern California for the day to be together and celebrate the holiday season as one. It is Incredible. Though the interview process can be intimidating and sometimes grueling, I promise you it is worth it in the end.

Cons

Truly cannot think of anything worth noting. Sequoia is a company who constantly works to differentiate themselves from the rest so policies are always changing for the better.

Hi! Thank you so much for leaving a review on Glassdoor and sharing with others some of our benefits and programs. I'm so glad you are having a positive experience with Sequoia. Work/life balance has never become as important as right now with the impact the pandemic has had on all of us - our team members, customers, residents. We are happy to be able to provide the benefits that allow our team members time to focus on family, giving back, and self care, amongst other things. I hope that this message finds you safe and healthy! If there is ever anything I can do, please do not hesitate to give me a call! -Enrica

Pros

Excellent leadership throughout the company. Great benefits all around with random "Surprise and Delight" for employees and residents. During the pandemic, Sequoia has been providing lunch for ALL staff members in every location, every day! They've also added "Lunch is On Us" for the residents. How cool is that? They also have random "Rest and Relaxation" paid days off that they surprise all employees with. It feels good knowing that I am working for a company that truly cares about their employees and residents. After being with another great company (different industry) for many years, it was a difficult decision to leave. I am happy to say that coming on board with Sequoia was the right choice for me.

Cons

No cons for working here.

Hi! Thank you for leaving a review about Sequoia. I'm so glad you are having a positive experience thus far. Like everyone else, the pandemic has thrown all of us for a loop. As an essential business, it was important that we kept the people, our team members, front of mind in everything we did and continue to do. The rest and recharge day was implemented because we saw that more than ever, it was important that we all took a moment to breathe and refocus our energy on self care and caring for our family and the lunches were so that you didn't have to worry about where to go for lunch or packing lunch to come into work. As much as we can do to ease the burden for you and support you, we are going to do that. Thank you for choosing Sequoia. I'm so glad you feel it was a good choice for you. We are thankful you are here! -Enrica
