Hi! Welcome to the Sequoia Family! We are so honored and thankful that you chose Sequoia as your employer of choice. We will work hard to do good for you. And yes, Lianna is a Rock Star! So happy that you had a great experience with her. We will pass on the kind words. Thank you as well for your feedback on the health insurance. We have great plans and the highest levels of coverage through Kaiser and Anthem Blue Cross. We are always looking to improve our benefits and minimize costs to our team members. We review benefits on an annual basis and have made great strides in the last few years to offset costs and have taken most if not all of the burden of the annual increases versus passing it off to our employees. We will do our very best to continue to do this for you and your team members. Should you ever need anything, please do contact me directly or call in to HR to assist. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback! -Enrica

Yay! So happy you are happy! :) You and your team members are definitely our #1 focus. We know that if we take great care of you that you will also do the same for your customers! That's why we do invest in your development through our training programs and third party education reimbursements, as well as fun stuff like our "Random Acts" program where we celebrate Earth Day and National Leave Work Early Day! With that personal development will come opportunities. If you are willing to relocate, there's definitely more we can offer you in terms of growth. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! And thank you for your continued support of Sequoia and the team! -Enrica

Pros

Sales training Company pays for your work clothes holidays events

Cons

Leasing managers/Assistant managers - Treat their employees like garbage and they take advantage of their authority over you when you go to your main Manager and Corporate they only sweep things under the rug to protect their managers and it only makes things worse for you. The managers retaliate when they know you complained them and set you up for failure. The manager that you trusted is against you and will "write you up" for any mistake. Corporate only listens to their managers.
