Pros

Opportunities to work across the globe....

Cons

Upper management not recognizing hard working employees. Overworked, underpaid with no growth within the company..don't believe the hype...there is a reason why Greystar has an F rating with the BBB. Whenever there is an issue you will get blamed for it weeks later even if you have not worked on the day of an incident. If you are a minority ..BEWARE! You can work very hard and will not get promoted while a Caucasian American with less experience is hired for a higher position. Too much micro-managing with no leadership skills, insulted on a daily basis and it is very possible that you will be fired after months - years of working like a slave. Not too many people of color working in the corporate office , only in the lower positions such as maintenance or a leasing agent.... a few assistant property managers as " a cover up " but they do not last long.

Pros

Large company. 3 weeks vacation and lowered cost on benefits after three years. Paid day off for birthday after one year. Training department adapts much better than many other companies I've seen. Promotion paths/support is more clearly laid out than ever. Acknowledgement for Kingsley (satisfaction surveys) and financial/budget achievements. 80% wonderful colleagues--depending on property.

Cons

Pay is not very competitive. Stress. Deadlines. Fire-happy. In the business of nickle and diming, and evicting people instead of providing homes. Little acknowledgement unless Regional Managers are saving face in front of Directors. Two-faced and very cliquey people overall. 20% backstabbing colleagues. Introducing new systems is a headless chicken show and happens frequently. When the Construction team fails, you'll be left to rot with ownership and corporate, and get all the heat from residents and your team. A minimum of two vendors will demand to know where payment is every week. Kingsley and Yammer are discussed vehemently in every other communication; buckle up. Work-life balance: either no flexibility at all or lots of it with the latter occurring maybe once a month. Additionally, you will be required to either work from home constantly or be the first one in and last one out.

Pros

If you are lucky enough you can have some really great residents and fun resident events.

Cons

This company works hard to make you believe you are apart of a bigger picture when in reality you are nothing to them. You are at the bottom of the company and they will work you like crazy so that they make all the money they can and the owner is happy. They do not care about their employees or care that you are valued for all that you do. They would rather see good employees go then to try and fight for what you deserve.
