Good health benefits. Consistently acquires new acquisitions. Offers training.

Cons

Lack of communication from upper management. Does not value their people. Lack on diversity, especially in executive positions. Lower on pay scale for this industry.

Pros

Pays well, good people to work with on property level, nice property, support from sister property, very good training coordinator, fun annual conferences, decent benefits

Cons

No work-life balance. Understaffed. Unrealistic expectations. So many conference calls - be careful asking a simple question because it'll probably result in a conference call on your calendar which will only set you back time you could've spent working. Won't approve overtime, so extra work falls on salaried community manager. Regional management was critical, condescending, unsupportive, demotivating, and unapproachable. Emails from the boss late at night. It doesn't matter if you're leasing like wildfire and how much time that absorbs from your staff - you are still expected to meet their unrealistic expectations and deadlines. Some duplicate reporting (one report for greystar and another for the owner). Budget doesn't make any sense which creates extra work to get approvals which shouldn't be necessary. Owner didn't allow for a p-card, so had to use cash which is quite inconvenient in the digital world where most purchases are made online. When I turned in my two-weeks notice, regional management was very unprofessional about it and insulting.

Pros

Once you've earned at least 5+ years of tenure with Greystar, you're eligible for a very reasonable benefits package for yourself and family. 1-5 years = standard coverage benefits but you do have the option to purchase the premium packages if you want to pay more.

Cons

I know of so many situations where Greystar treated their employees horribly. They claim to have "Integrity" as one of their core values but integrity would be the last word I would use in reference to Greystar's name.
