Pros

Progressive and generally good benefits

Cons

Greystar will cut every corner if it means saving them a few bucks. They will sacrifice good employees and resident relationships without a second thought. They will make excuses not to fully staff offices because it means saving money, putting unacknowledged stress and weight on others’ shoulders. You can only say “thank you” so many times before it becomes meaningless because nothing is being done to help. It has become manipulation, taking advantage of employees and expecting that your “thanks” are enough to make up for the fact that everyone is burned out and stressed beyond belief. The lack of acknowledgement and understanding of what the reality of being onsite is like is unbelievable. The lack of transparency and overwhelming facade of “everything is great!” is robotic. Greystar expects more and more with no intention of providing the support that is necessary. Stop cutting budgets and forcing unrealistic numbers on your communities. BE human to your employees.. BE empathetic.. BE supportive.. BE proactive. Live by your own pillars and values.. Stop waiting for things to fall apart or for people to threaten to quit before any action is taken. We are your people.. your worker bees. We want to be here but we are burning out.

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.
