Pros

I feel as though they value their employees. You are recognized for your hard work. My property manager is a very intelligent and successful person so I have learned so much through her and enjoy the fact that I can continue to grow within such a large but extremely prominent company.

Cons

Very demanding but I enjoy it. It is challenging.

Best company I've ever worked for!

Pros

I appreciate that if you work hard, produce good numbers, happy clients, etc. then you are recognized and even promoted. its not always about tenure with this company which helps keep fresh talent engaged. I know the Houston region is huge about promoting from within, and to me and many that I speak with, that means so much. Good structure but does allow for us to color outside of the lines to meet the client's unusual requests. I know the Houston leadership cares for their people, from corporate to the onsite teams, and encourage us to make sure we have a work-life balance. I really like that with the size of the company, you can work here, change directions, and have an "evergreen" opportunity while remaining at the same company, earning greater tenure/benefits. One of the things I value the most is the vision of leadership, since I've joined Greystar 7 years ago, I've seen smart, strategic decisions and strategies which have helped to make this company the best I've ever worked and and enjoy the most.

Cons

With it being such a large company, its sometimes a long process to implement changes or see "coming soon" processes. Emails are hard to keep up with sometimes with so many things going on and so many people sending out new initiatives.

Rewarding career at a fast paced, ever expanding organization

Pros

Greystar's seemingly continuous growth has meant good opportunity to learn and advance. Company appears to be focused on aggressive expansion which has lead to periods of "do more with less". This isn't' necessarily a bad thing. Good training, standard benefits, and again large size means potential to move around/up vs. some competitors.

Cons

Very fast paced. Growth has meant hard work and some sacrifices as staffing sometimes lags behind needs (work/life balance impact). Appears to be good leadership at most levels. Culture is good. This is a customer service centric business which often means those you work with are professional.
