Greystar is Great!

Pros

Great opportunities for growth with plenty of training available. Senior Leadership is knowledgeable and professional. More PTO than I could ever use.

Cons

Can sometimes feel lost in the shuffle due to the size of the company. Never enough coverage/staffing due to constant growth and employee promotions. Expensive benefits.

Steer Clear!

Pros

Beautiful office building, newly remodeled.

Cons

First week on the job, two accountants left. one month later two more were gone. There is laughter in other departments, but the CFO better not hear laughter in the Accounting Department. She comes out several times a day and does a surprise walk around where she glaringly checks to make sure people are heads down and working. No checking your phone! You get an hour for lunch, but deadlines are such that you often can't take it and lunches are "scheduled". So if you miss it - too bad I guess. You start at 8:00 and you come in at 8:05 - it is noticed. It doesn't matter if you worked an hour late the night before. You work through lunch - you can NOT leave early. At this level of your career no other company treats their employees this way. I felt like I was a high-schooler working my first job at McDonalds the way I was watched! It was ridiculous! Very oppressive. Steer clear!!

Pros

Overall the management team is treated well. The company has a good reputation and they provide ongoing training for community managers.

Cons

The regional managers are over extended. Having worked for two, i found them to be under qualified for the position. They respond to presure from above by blamimg their managers rather than taking responsibility. When uper management wants something, it becomes a fire drill. Everything is reactive.
