Pros

Had the flexibility to set your office hours and selecting own staff.

Cons

Terrible pay, high turnover, Management hire unprofessional family members. Company promote base on who they like and not on merit. If you are a brown-noiser and love gossip then you will fit in perfectly. Upper management is dominated by sexist males that preys on young leasing agents.

Pros

I worked for Greystar for 5 years, and I thought I would die working for that company. They draw you in with promises of growth and building, and yes, they do provide those things. I can almost guarantee you that if you start working with Greystar at an onsite level, you will definitely move up into the corporate sector. When you are a full-time employee you will be able to have great benefits that usually surpass other companies and a 401k program. Then, when you begin to gain tenure with the property you will be provided with more weeks of vacation and larger matching from the company to your 401k account. However, those are pretty much the only pros to working for this company.

Cons

Greystar preaches a lot about their pillars and values. Once you start working there,t his is one of the allures. Wow, a huge company that takes this much pride in honesty and integrity, that sounds amazing, right? Well once you're there for a certain amount of time the preaching of the pillars and values never stop but you begin to see very quickly that they're not actually put into place on a daily basis. Upper-level executive management is absolutely terrible within Greystar. Maybe it's because they're promoting people so quickly, or they're giving positions to people who aren't ready for them. I'm not sure what the problem is exactly, but these executives DO NOT know how to take care of their employees and they treat them like absolute garbage. You will get paid very little to work extremely hard, a lot of hours, and get very little in return.
