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.

Pros

A company can say they care about their employees, others show it. Sequoia Equities shows it. The training is wonderful. They make your passions their passions. They provide you time off to volunteer in areas that are important to their employees, and pay you for it. They use cutting edge technology to make sure your job is effective. They are looking for ways to improve and value our feedback. I’ve been with the company for a short time and feel ready to stay long term. They empower their employees to resolve issues and encourage customer satisfaction. This is a great company to work for.

Cons

Although the benefits package is very good, it’s also very costly for a family to be fully insured. I’ve been informed other options will be made available due to the feedback the company has received from their employees. Aside from that, I have not experienced any “Cons”.
