Pros

Compensation is slightly above average in comparison to industry standards. However, if you are an exempt employee (ie. salaried "Team Member"), don't even think about having the expectation to be provided ample time to take breaks, eat, sleep, breathe, or even think. Benefits are quite amazing, but again- not like you're going to have the opportunity to use those sick or vacation days, or even that great healthcare package... If you enjoy modern-day enslavement and dictatorship, then this is the perfect fit!

Cons

Being a long term employee at this company can be summed up in two words: Overworked, Underpaid. Offering very little room for advancement once obtaining highest level roles on-site. Greystar has become such a large company, they have to specifically and repeatedly voice the words "we care about you" through methods such as e-mail communication and videos from Sr. Level Management. It's very clear this is forced and blatantly fake, doing more damage to corporate morale and destroying employee relationships. "Team Members" do not feel valued, and are nothing more than a number. It's portrayed as if each employee is dispensable- so you had better be drinking the Kool-Aid!

Pros

You get to meet a lot of people working in the office as a leasing agent. You work on your problem solving skills You do NOT need a college degree to work on a lower-management level but communication and personal skills are a must.

Cons

The entire on boarding process is heinous. Nothing was prepared for my first day and it took weeks to gain access to crucial sites in order to get my work done successfully. Turnover rates are really high - it makes it difficult to know who to reach out for when you need answers. Communication needs improvement: I had no idea I was getting a new manager until they walked into the door on their first day. Low paying wage - there are opportunities for leasing bonuses

Pros

It's a job if you need one. It's fun to be a part of someone's new home. It's easy kind of like telemarketing, just read the written script and check every box they want you to. And remember, every call is recorded and graded, every tour "could be a shop" and every situation has a black and white generic response.

Cons

Culture of giggly, silly, girls on the corporate level. That trickles down to the properties. Childish emails, games, and baby talk in meetings, training, and company events was really embarrassing and shocking. General talking "down to" and "dumbing down" every aspect of the positions is demoralizing and demotivating. The company is great if you are a property owner-they slash and cut costs anyway possible, but that includes delayed maintenance, cheap repairs that will cost more long term, cheap labor also causes apathy and unhappy residents. Greystar has "pillars of excellence" but they are words on paper and not used in daily business.
