Pros

This is the largest third party management company, therefore there are always open positions and opportunities. Benefits are fairly low cost and free after a couple of years. Time off for holidays, sick, vacation time all offered for full time employees. Some really great Regional Property Managers in this company.

Cons

Properties always operate on skeleton crews which makes getting home off at a smaller property close to impossible, so the promised vacation, sick, and holidays becomes a source of frustration instead of a benefit. Policies are not enforced consistently. Pay is lower than other Manager positions I have held. The company is so big and only plans to grow so though they say people are key to the company's success, that is all we are, people. It is too big and looking to be the biggest as opposed to the best. (bigger isn't always better) No work life balance. I was a rehire with Riverstone when Greystar took us over so I lost over 4 years of tenure at transition. I therefore lost 2 weeks of vacation and much more. I have never been one to look for a new job or be unhappy at work, but I am.

Pros

Pay with housing discounts tend to be better than competition

Cons

Severe negatives if you plan on taking any type of leave of absence. While they are required to allow the leave, (my experience) has been that if retaliatory since it adds additional work load to those in your group (your boss). I’ve experienced this personally, and have seen it with other managers in my group. You will start to receive write ups that you never had before, micro managed, and/or fired after such things. I went from discussing promotions before my leave started to becoming ineligible for rehire after taking state protected LOA.
