Pros

It's employment. Health benefits are pretty good.

Cons

I never take to the internet to write reviews, this is my first one...that's how awful this job is. So, where to begin...Upper management has no idea how to run the accounting department. They lack the basic skills to manage people with dignity, and instead, rely on gestapo tactics and false promises to motivate. They think some people are doing an awesome job, when in reality, they don't comprehend basic accounting concepts, can't speak to clients, and ask a billion questions without trying to solve the problem themselves. If you do good work, don't worry, your efforts will go unappreciated and unnoticed. You will work, at the very minimum, a 50-to-55 hour work week for compensation well-below the industry average. If you do quality work, you'll get more work dumped on you, because "the other accountants can't be trusted to do it right"...remind me, why are they there? The company's growing? Who cares. A lot of companies are growing again, and accounting employees at Greystar won't see any additional compensation because of that growth, just more work. Make no mistake, as a Greystar accountant, you're a "lower class citizen." On one occasion, Bob Faith came to visit the Houston office - he went around to every department, except accounting. Case and point. I'll put it to you this way; I've never worked at a company where so many people have just walked in and quit, because they just couldn't take it anymore, without having another job or plan in place.

Pros

You can learn the basics of accounting

Cons

It’s been without a doubt by far the worst experience I ever had. You only have to work 300-400 hours a week. That’s not the worst part. I had the unfortunate luck of working under a manager who suffered from schizophrenia. One day I am doing an amazing job the next day I am worse than Hitler.
