Pros

Progressive and generally good benefits

Cons

Greystar will cut every corner if it means saving them a few bucks. They will sacrifice good employees and resident relationships without a second thought. They will make excuses not to fully staff offices because it means saving money, putting unacknowledged stress and weight on others’ shoulders. You can only say “thank you” so many times before it becomes meaningless because nothing is being done to help. It has become manipulation, taking advantage of employees and expecting that your “thanks” are enough to make up for the fact that everyone is burned out and stressed beyond belief. The lack of acknowledgement and understanding of what the reality of being onsite is like is unbelievable. The lack of transparency and overwhelming facade of “everything is great!” is robotic. Greystar expects more and more with no intention of providing the support that is necessary. Stop cutting budgets and forcing unrealistic numbers on your communities. BE human to your employees.. BE empathetic.. BE supportive.. BE proactive. Live by your own pillars and values.. Stop waiting for things to fall apart or for people to threaten to quit before any action is taken. We are your people.. your worker bees. We want to be here but we are burning out.

Pros

They pay you well and give good benefits.

Cons

They will work you to the bone, abuse you emotionally, manipulate you, talk down on you, and throw you out the moment you aren’t taking any of it. They work you your normal hours and then 30-50 overtime hours in that same two weeks. They don’t care for their employees well being, only the results they get the client. Even if it’s at the expense of your health, safety, or mental status. Management is like a giant frat and sorority opened a business. You can’t ask for help they’ll retaliate, you can’t ask for relief or they’ll retaliate, you can’t have issues otherwise they’ll retaliate. Do not work here even for the money or benefits, they will work you to death and then prop your corpse up to work more. If you value your personal time, mental health, and over all well being. God forbid you want to leave your building and management doesn’t want you to, ask for a transfer and they will rain down write ups on you. You are owned by the client if you work for this company. Modern day indentured servitude. DO NOT WORK FOR THEM.
