Pros

None none none none none (needed five words)

Cons

Greystar is sued and constantly in court for a reason, a panoply of reasons. Homelessness is a weapon they gleefully wield against anyone foolish enough to work for them. Homelessness is a tool they use to scare people into paying the obscene rent they collude with RealPage to artificially inflate. I am a former employee and see no future beyond what I’m living under because of my suspension of my own humanity necessary to take the job I was desperate for and offered by this parasite of a corporation. The worst thing to come out of South Carolina since the Civil War. I wonder if the Civil War killed as many people as Greystar has with homelessness. It’s no surprise the largest generator of the homelessness in this broken society is unspeakably evil. As soon as they discover you only want to do your job and nothing else, being complimented every day instantly turns to constant insult and abuse. Suddenly you can never do anything right. Quality of work that was sterling before is now in need to constant redos. They don’t even try and hide it. They will either fire you or drive you to quit. I gave them two weeks notice, and they fired me. I lived on property. I had my housing taken away and was thrown on the street. When I refused to simply, upon request of these scumbags, literally move onto the sidewalk, they served me with papers. They tried to have the court remove me, then I left under voluntary circumstances, and I was then charged SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS as an “Early Termination Fee!” I was forced from my home…. Then charged for the rest of the lease, which for employees ends on December 31. They could have let me reside there until December and get their 7k… but it wasn’t money they wanted, but to crush nonconformity. To crush anyone who has the courage to tell them what they are. They know every poor person dying on the street that their employees and renters walk past allows them to more easily exploit them. Rent go up and wages go down. They are the absolute incarnate of the evil sweeping this world in the age of Donald Trump. Apparently this isn’t illegal like in any decent society. I am homeless, destitute, and will not be allowed to have a home again until I somehow pay these criminals what they have stolen from me. Nobody will hire you when you’re homeless unless you lie. If you’re caught lying you’re fired and the money you’re saving to get out of danger goes away. They know this and it’s the point. This company will gleefully ruin as many years of your life as they can. They will smirk and claim “you signed it!” although I have yet to find the clause in my lease they’re talking about as if that would make it ok. It doesn’t matter, I can’t afford a lawyer and they know it. Desperate people sign up because they need the disgusting rent they’ve inflated discounted in order to live and they know it. They know what they are and are proud. They will smile in your face and tell you that you deserve what’s happening to you. Greystar is Satan and anyone who works there is complicit. Don’t be one of them… you have everything to lose.

Pros

For being so large, they were actually a really good company to work for. Everyone (at least in Arizona) was positive and great to work with.

Cons

I feel like a lot of the cons come from policies and decisions made by the property ownership, not from Greystar. This will vary from community to community.

Pros

Benefits, housing discount, time off if approved

Cons

Micromanagement, inconsistent communication regarding expectations, and a workplace culture that could feel overly focused on monitoring rather than coaching. advancement opportunities appeared to be influenced heavily by relationships and internal networks. At times, it felt that who you knew carried more weight than performance, qualifications, or contributions. This created a perception of favoritism and made career growth feel less transparent. I also observed inconsistent accountability across leadership levels. Certain employees seemed to face significantly different standards than others, which could be frustrating for team members who were working hard to meet expectations. I would have appreciated a culture that emphasized consistent standards, objective performance metrics, and more transparent promotion decisions.
