Pros

Greystar is a well known property management company so you can transfer almost anywhere including globally. Pay is good however it depends on your propertys budget which I guess can then be a con.

Cons

It can be a toxic environment and has been. Greystar NY management I’ve come across discrimination, racism, favoritism. So many employees feel this way which is sad.

Overworked and underappreciated

Pros

Benefits are pretty good. Fair amount of PTO if you're able to actually take time off.

Cons

Outsourcing to India to save property accountants time but actually creates more work. For those of us that are lucky enough to have the extra burden, I mean help, we get added duties and properties. Upper management won't or doesn't want to hear about the challenges with India outsourcing so we are stuck with the extra work. Operations is severely lacking training and accounting is expected to pick up the slack. Greystar seems to only care about how big they can grow the company. If you are good at your job, you are taken advantage of because you are stuck pulling the weight of others that can't or won't do their job.

Steer very clear!

Pros

Required hours were only 9am-4pm with hour lunch, starts off kinda easy as well. Fully remote but pushing people back into close offices 1 day off every quarter?

Cons

The company will promise you that you will work your way up to 8-10 properties once you reach a year, this is a blatant lie. I was given 4 properties and had 3 more added within 4 months, all different clients so no ease in reporting monthly. Your manager will also tell you they want you to only have to work 30-35 hours, this is also a lie as they might have the minimum hours stated above but will micromanage you during them and make sure you are always green on Teams. You will also be so overloaded with properties, especially if you get multiple problem properties constantly needing help and 20+ email chains for them a day or if they are cash poor. You will not receive much for training other than a couple videos that make no sense when they do not have you practically train with them, you're also given an Excel sheet to just figure out the questions and no real depth into the processes. There is absolutely no room for growth unless you want to become a senior in 3-4 years . You are also underpaid here massively, they will offer you $50k and will admit to underpaying you for your work. Other property management companies will start staff at 60-65k. Benefits are not better here than other companies, you will only benefit by using this as a stepping stone or if you plan to life here for 10+ years for the sabbatical.
