Pros

Decent Benefits. Matching 401K. Commission rate was average.

Cons

The "Greystar Way" means that regional and property managers only care about their budgets for the year and will fire individuals at their own whim if the community isn't at their desired leased and occupied percentages. Working at an understaffed community was enduring and tiring. Even after multiple colleagues informed management of the tiring environment and encouraged them to hire more staff they waited past the prime, busy summer months to do so. The one person that they did eventually hire was fresh from college, did the "Greystar Training " and then quit after working 1 week at the community. Since Greystar purposely under staffs the community from the maintenance to the leasing team, there isn't the opportunity to have a good or reasonable work-life balance. There won't be the opportunity to have a weekend day off and if they do fire an employee your work schedule will change whether you want it or not. If you take too much PTO to their liking they'll fire you. Their mandatory regional, company meetings are a waste of time and feel more like High School pep rallies where people get little trophies and get the audience hyped-up by doing a "Roll Call." This is the only job and work environment where I hated working for my employer after 6 months with them. Very little to no capabilities to grow with the company. 95% of the time Greystar looks outside the company to fill open positions.

Pros

-Great networking opportunities. -Good IT support. -Great benifits. -Great employee housing discount and housing opportunities. -Commissions will make your paycheck worth it.

Cons

-Management is broad and impersonal. You may feel like a number. -Your workload can be a lot at times. if you work well under pressure, you'd succeed here. -The leasing season is not year round meaning you will have slow months and you will have good ones. Save in the good months to get through the slow ones. -High turnover. Resilience will get you far. -It's rare that you get your weekends at a company like this.
