Pros

Pay was pretty good for being straight out of college. Hours per week were predictable — I think I only got paid overtime once. Scheduling was less predictable, and working weekends was common. Bonuses for every lease I closed were nice. I became mentally stronger. This job hardened my heart and calloused my mind. I got a discount on my rent, which was cool. However, I must caution you against living where you work. Residents would bother me with requests on my days off, and it was hard to set boundaries. Eventually, living where I worked resulted in near-constant anxiety.

Cons

The rate of turnover here was insane. People were constantly getting fired or quitting out of desperation. Absenteeism was also off the charts. I was often alone in the office, totally green and dealing with requests I was not yet equipped to handle. Nothing was organized. Nothing ever worked. Every day here was a catastrophe. This place completely broke people. I believe that many of the people I worked with had serious substance abuse issues, and I can hardly blame them. I was made to believe that this job could serve as a way for me to learn Greystar's business from the ground up, then put my business degree to use in a corporate role. Even if such an opportunity did eventually come through, I don't think I would have taken it. My time working on-site had soured my view of the company to the point that I lost interest in working for them in any capacity. Nearly all of the friends I made at orientation have also quit and moved on.

Pros

Pay with housing discounts tend to be better than competition

Cons

Severe negatives if you plan on taking any type of leave of absence. While they are required to allow the leave, (my experience) has been that if retaliatory since it adds additional work load to those in your group (your boss). I’ve experienced this personally, and have seen it with other managers in my group. You will start to receive write ups that you never had before, micro managed, and/or fired after such things. I went from discussing promotions before my leave started to becoming ineligible for rehire after taking state protected LOA.
