Pros

Accrued time, even though you aren't able to "be off"

Cons

Where do I begin: - leadership is too worried about what designer bag they will be carrying as opposed to what's going on within their portfolio. No sense of teamwork unless employees seek out friendships. - reporting, reporting, reporting. That's all that Greystar seems to want their employees to do. Reporting doesn't allow for growth of knowledge or skill, it just sucks your time out of doing more important things, like helping your residents. - PTO is never truly PTO. You are still emailed, texted, called to finish items due. Proxies are not given because each property is so specific that other managers can't even assist. If something goes south while you're on vacation, you will be the one to deal with it. - training, or lack thereof. Not once are trainers or mentors given unless a manager elects for one. If the manager elects a team member to assist in training, it is a 2-3 day process of worthless HR information. Said employee is then given a bonus for doing something they should do regardless. - there is no work/life balance. You are constantly on your phone. If a report is sent incorrectly, you are expected to fix it regardless of the time. - there is so much red tape with dealing with clients. The client comes first, the residents come second, and the team comes third. Is that not completely backwards? The client is "always right" and leadership is too scared to disagree with anything that should be disagreed upon out of worry that they'll lose an asset. - there is no exit interviewing. I would assume this is out of fear that all exit interviews would go poorly, which I'm sure they would.

Pros

Your immediate coworkers are pretty much the only thing keeping you sane because you’re all in the mess together...

Cons

Upper Management keeps saying they are there for support and to help but whenever you ask for help, you’re blown off or are completely unheard. Not enough staffing for the amount of work they put on you and when you can’t meet a deadline by 20 minutes they’re all over you about it. They’re all about this culture of teamwork and communication and rainbows and unicorn farts but GOD FORBID you have any sort of emotion or opposing opinion of a policy or question anything.

Pros

Benefits are good but could be better.

Cons

Colorado regional regional managers are not empathetic to situations. They do not care and do not give support to on site teams. I do not reccommend working for Greystar in Colorado.
