Pros

Working for Sequoia has been an immensely rewarding experience for me personally. I feel that my work, experience, input and dedication is valued and appreciated within the organization. I value how well the home office and field teams work together. The organization, while encouraging a professional and polished culture, also fosters a family and personal atmosphere. There is no caddy behavior within the community and generally speaking everyone gets along well. We work hard and play hard too. Bonuses are good and they sky is the limit as far as income. Growth opportunities are available and the company is very supportive of personal growth and development. Sequoia is the best of the best! The Experience Matters does not just extend to our customers in this organization.

Cons

401K matching would be nice and Flexible Spending Credit Cards vs. reimbursements too. Another con is that employees are paid twice per month. It would be more convenient if pay was every other week.

Hi there, First, I have to thank you for continuing to choose Sequoia as your employer of choice for more than 10 years! Thank you so much for your continued dedication and belief in the Company's vision. We also sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave a review on Glassdoor. As you know by now, we recently announced our commitment to taking care of you through being able to match your 401k contributions. It's a huge win for our team members and the Company as a whole. I also appreciate your feedback on moving towards a flexible spending credit card and the change in the payroll. Although we have started our FSA program for 2016, I will look into the feasibility of moving towards the credit card this year. If not, we will work to make it happen in 2017. In regards to a bi-weekly vs semi-monthly payroll, there are pros and cons to both. We can also look at that for a possibility for 2017. As payroll schedules are set, it is best to make these adjustments at the beginning of the calendar year. Again, thank you for your years of service with Sequoia, your kind words, and your suggestions. Please keep them coming! Thank you, Enrica

Two Thumbs Up for Sequoia!

Pros

Sequoia has been an outstanding company to work for! The benefits and pay are extremely competitive and the environment is always a positive one. They are forward thinking and always looking outside of the box to remain unique yet relevant to what today's renter is looking for in a home. I feel like I've been given the proper tools and training to really excel in my career.

Cons

There are no cons in my opinion. The only thing that I would like to see within the company is a 401K matching program for longer term employees.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about our Company. We completely agree with you that Sequoia needs to continue to invest in our team members not only in the present but in the future as well. We are excited to share that we will be moving forward this year in implementing a match to your 401k contributions! We have partnered with a great financial adviser that will be out at the properties in the next few months to help you with future planning, including maximizing your 401k contributions to ensure you get the maximum allowed with our matching program. Again, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to share your experience with Sequoia! Enrica

Pros

Sequoia Equities has a excellent training program. Innovative, always two steps ahead of other Management companies. Main concern is residents and customer experience.

Cons

Health benefits are extremely high. They don't match funds for 401K. They don't pay out for unused sick time. Salaries used to be competitive.
