Pros

I worked for Greystar for 5 years, and I thought I would die working for that company. They draw you in with promises of growth and building, and yes, they do provide those things. I can almost guarantee you that if you start working with Greystar at an onsite level, you will definitely move up into the corporate sector. When you are a full-time employee you will be able to have great benefits that usually surpass other companies and a 401k program. Then, when you begin to gain tenure with the property you will be provided with more weeks of vacation and larger matching from the company to your 401k account. However, those are pretty much the only pros to working for this company.

Cons

Greystar preaches a lot about their pillars and values. Once you start working there,t his is one of the allures. Wow, a huge company that takes this much pride in honesty and integrity, that sounds amazing, right? Well once you're there for a certain amount of time the preaching of the pillars and values never stop but you begin to see very quickly that they're not actually put into place on a daily basis. Upper-level executive management is absolutely terrible within Greystar. Maybe it's because they're promoting people so quickly, or they're giving positions to people who aren't ready for them. I'm not sure what the problem is exactly, but these executives DO NOT know how to take care of their employees and they treat them like absolute garbage. You will get paid very little to work extremely hard, a lot of hours, and get very little in return.

Pros

-Great networking opportunities. -Good IT support. -Great benifits. -Great employee housing discount and housing opportunities. -Commissions will make your paycheck worth it.

Cons

-Management is broad and impersonal. You may feel like a number. -Your workload can be a lot at times. if you work well under pressure, you'd succeed here. -The leasing season is not year round meaning you will have slow months and you will have good ones. Save in the good months to get through the slow ones. -High turnover. Resilience will get you far. -It's rare that you get your weekends at a company like this.
