Pros

This is the largest third party management company, therefore there are always open positions and opportunities. Benefits are fairly low cost and free after a couple of years. Time off for holidays, sick, vacation time all offered for full time employees. Some really great Regional Property Managers in this company.

Cons

Properties always operate on skeleton crews which makes getting home off at a smaller property close to impossible, so the promised vacation, sick, and holidays becomes a source of frustration instead of a benefit. Policies are not enforced consistently. Pay is lower than other Manager positions I have held. The company is so big and only plans to grow so though they say people are key to the company's success, that is all we are, people. It is too big and looking to be the biggest as opposed to the best. (bigger isn't always better) No work life balance. I was a rehire with Riverstone when Greystar took us over so I lost over 4 years of tenure at transition. I therefore lost 2 weeks of vacation and much more. I have never been one to look for a new job or be unhappy at work, but I am.

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.
