Sequoia Living

What is the best part of working at the company?
Sequoia Living offered a lot of training regularly. They cared about you. Everyone was happy to work there and Management was very approachable. I regret leaving the company tremendously but had to relocate. If you are interested on a position there I highly recommend them. I am in contact with my Managers/co-workers to this day and reflect on my clients and experiences with Sequoia Living as a positive experience. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The Clients and the San Francisco city life. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very approachable, relaxed, and client centered. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meet with clients. Listen to their issues. Try to solve them. Work with other employees attend trainings.

The residents at Sequoia Living were exceptional, and I greatly enjoyed working and interacting with them, but the management in the Life Enrichment Department was disorganized and unwelcoming with incompetent leadership and a toxic work culture that was petty and dysfunctional. HR lead always seemed stressed, unhappy and impatient. I found so much hypocrisy in this group of people, and their way of treating residents, especially those experiencing cognitive decline, was unacceptable. I would not recommend anyone to join this organization.

The management here is rather unfeeling and will definitely take things out on you personally if you don’t kiss up. There are a lot of great people here, but it isn’t enough to make someone want to stay long term when you can advance more elsewhere. The location is difficult to get to commute-wise, although the surrounding area and campus are quite beautiful. There’s also a nice tax-free bonus during the holidays and decent PTO.
You can meet a lot of great people here both through coworkers and through the residents themselves, but don’t expect a lot of support from management or HR, who tend to ignore issues rather than dealing with them. This place will give you trust issues for sure.

Sequoia Living is a top-notch organization. I have worked in this industry for 30 years and by far it is one of the best that I have worked for. They are constantly looking for ways to show their employees their value. They have raised wages multiple times since I have been there. Very competitive wage and benefits. They provide training and have many opportunities for growth, in fact that is a theme with this organization. Great residents!

nurse to patient ratio is great. some staff that have  been there years spend their shift doing nothing while others carry all the weight.  nurses are constantly late. admissions has tendency to accept  patients to come in during lunch hours or right at end of shift which is ridiculous. most patients are great, cooperative with some exception of course. nice clean facility, no foul smell. hr is very kind, overall company is great, staff is the downside. 

Company is unstable, especially management.  Blame staffing for  their own shortcomings and inexperience. Not a trustworthy employer, made promises never keep them, lies, misrepresents culture, etc.  No real training, manager incapable of properly preparing department and staff for business.  I could go on and on...I would just stay clear of this place.

Patients nothing else to say . 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Staff they will try and bully you .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nothing but rude Philippine people 


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Gossiping staff who don’t care about the residents

You will not be given proper training, you will be left to figure things out on your own. Scapegoat galore, when things go wrong and they will; management will play the blame game to cover up their incompetence. Favoritism is an all time high and it's the only way to advance here, job performance means nothing. Some managers are completely clueless as to how to run an RCFE. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The environment made it a really great place to work for. Diverse in many different ways and a wonderful experience 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Language barriers were a bit difficult at first and understanding differences in cultures

The management is cool and treat us like a family. The workers are friendly and the environment is clean and spacious. The elderly are nice and smiling all the time. I can’t wait to serve them in the dining room. The workers are like my family, they are nice and responsible.
