Greystar reviews

They didn't train me very well for my position. When I went to another company I realized how little I was taught about the leasing world.

The following paragraphs speak more to the nature of the business than the company itself: The starting pay rate was pretty low considering my college degree which they attributed to my lack of experience in the industry, but I knew that I was more than qualified for the job taking into account my cumulative work experience, so I negotiated a starting rate of about $4 higher than what they initially offered. Work/life balance I rate a 4 out of 5 mainly because you have to work weekends, during snow days if you live on the property, and on many holidays that your family likely has off. But in order to maximize sales, you have to capitalize on the days prospects could actually have time to come in and tour the property. So that's just the nature of the beast. Some days seemed more difficult than others especially when budgets weren't being met/exceeded. Attitudes weren't as chipper and you could feel the stress in the atmosphere. Then that's when the micromanaging begins. However, that is to be expected when you have any role in the sales department of the company. You drive their profit! The prospects and residents are very interesting. Whether you're at a property that attracts high class prospects or one that attracts mid- to low-, you're going to deal with a lovely variety of attitude, sense of entitlement, neediness, helplessness, etc. This is a customer service focused position, so this is to be expected. But keep in mind that you will be serving the very same people for at least six months to a year depending on if they renew.
