Pros

Greystar is a great company with a clear vision. There are opportunities for growth. Really good benefits. Knowledgeable colleagues and beautiful properties. Pay is decent and commission structure is decent.

Cons

The culture is toxic. Unfortunately, this is due to leadership or the lack there of. Corporate leaders want you to suck up and be their best friend to get ahead. As long as you look the part and act accordingly then there is promise for advancement. Owners will always win even if they treat employees like crap. Diversity is very lackluster. The corporate office in my division was minimal with diversity inclusion and they hardly promoted minorities. The work/life balance can be challenging as well but that is based on property and the individual. HR also can’t be trusted as they will cover and protect senior leadership and corporate employees before helping site level employees who file sexual harassment claims.

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.
