Two Thumbs Up for Sequoia!

Community manager

Business Outlook

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.

Amazing Company to Work For!

Pros

I love working for Sequoia. The employee appreciation is unparalleled. I came from a terrible corporate environment. I had no idea a company like Sequoia existed. From simple things like corporate/management just verbally expression appreciation, to the huge events like Fun Day and the Holiday Luncheon, Sequoia constantly shows appreciation to all employees. Sequoia ensures that each employee is offered ALL tools necessary to learn about their position. Their training programs are fantastic! Getting promoted is a simple and quick process, as long as you are a good, hard working employee. The pay is great! Another company (grudgingly) offered me the same pay rate, for the same position, at a MUCH larger property.

Cons

Career Wear. The career wear policy has gotten much better over the years, but I still wish we could wear our own shirts (within the given guidelines) without being required to wear the suit jacket. Unfortunately, I understand the need for this policy, since many people would take advantage of the looser policy, in order to wear whatever they wanted, which risks the professionalism that Sequoia expects and requires. Like I said, the policy has evolved in the last few hears, and has gotten much more comfortable, while still remaining polished and professional.
