Pros

Large company that most candidates in the industry know. Exciting expansion. Beautiful offices.

Cons

Very political atmosphere. Erratic leaders. (While I was there) I was asked (from business leaders) to discriminate against candidates. And would be reprimanded when I pushed back. Would receive phone calls from my "clients" at all hours of the day and night (the earliest ever was 4:30AM, the latest was 11:00PM) and expected to answer. Was contacted throughout FMLA leave to do work. When dealing with difficult clients, I very rarely had support from my management. "Customer is always right" to a fault. By the end of my tenure, I would feel nauseous about going back to work after the weekend. The individuals in the company are great, but the company culture/values for corporate employees is severely lacking. Once I started looking for new opportunities, I also realized that I was EXTREMELY underpaid. Not a lot of room for advancement in this department and very minimal annual bonuses (based on performance, but there were never meetings about individual performance. Different % across recruiters. This was a point of contention among many TAA's and haphazard assignment of merit increases as well) HR/Talent Acquisition consistently had the lowest "employee satisfaction" NPS scores out of the ENTIRE COMPANY, by a lot with out action to change the environment. Working at Greystar felt like being a cog in a very cold, miserable machine that lived in the darkest corner of a basement. Many people from Talent Acquisition and the HR team left from 2017-2018. And I hope it was a wake up call to change the culture of that division. It could very likely be different now - But be aware.

Pros

None. Literally none. Unless you enjoy seeing people in pain and babies cry.

Cons

I work for Greystar, so screw you, your family, all your complaints.. and if you've moved on.. screw your future because we don't give a crap.

Pros

There's great opportunity to move up and advance and they are in a lot of major cities so moving/transferring is easy. They offer good medical benefits and added paid parental leave to their benefit package after being with the company for a few years.

Cons

There's not a lot of opportunity for training, training online through the portal isn't the easiest way to learn and because managers are also flooded with work to do, they don't have time to train their staff. A lot of it just comes with doing and asking questions when you get stuck.
