Pros

They buy your career wear.

Cons

Everything. This was the most horrible work experience I have had in my career. Extremely superficial, shallow, and catty management and staff. It's akin to working in an office full of snotty , immature, 14 year old teens. Incredibly unprofessional. If you are unliked for any benign reason, you will be bullied by the staff to force you to quit. You will be told you are "not Sequoia material", which is the inside-company, go-to insult they hurl and anyone they deem inferior. If you question them about their discriminatory practices towards residents and prospects, you will never pushed out. You cover their dirty deeds or else. The positive reviews here are mainly written by management and are fake.

Pros

No Pros at all for this company.

Cons

Employees Not treated well. Expected to Not follow laws and treat others poorly. Very Superficial. Does not do charity, events, or special days for the positive, but only to look good regarding the Public Opinion of them - look at the posts on their website. Some of the 'charity' is deceptive and after seeing the terms of the charity, it is not charity at all. Staff are not on the consumers side at all - even when knowing the truth. The way to get ahead in this company is by treating people including staff poorly, flat out lying to people and staff, making extra Money for the company using Illegal means, sucking up to upper managers, giving good reviews to try to get ahead.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your positive review! I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with others here on glassdoor. I'm glad you have had a good experience thus far. And, I'm sorry to hear you won't be able to head home as much this semester! It's tough when you are away from family. I hope in the meantime, though, that you remember you still have your Sequoia Family! We are here for you! Again, thank you, thank you for your review. Have a great summer ahead! -Enrica
