Pros

Pay, Benefits, 401k, Training. Now....If you like to gab, talk bad about others, inform staff at one community about how bad others are at other communities, stalk Facebook and share personal business with others, drinking in access at events (people are being warned- its sad), pulling 20+ reports per week that do not get looked at, taking over properties full of underperforming employees, dealing with difficult and overbearing RPM's....this this is the company for you!

Cons

Focus on reporting (ridiculous amount sent to corporate per week) and not running the asset for the 3rd party owner. Facing overtime on employees- since company is not very efficient. Corporate employees including RPMs, Directors in SA and Austin are very disconnected with how the community should run. Most have not ran a community in 6+ years, unfamiliar with what is asked of the manager and onsite staff. Lost very valuable players due to underperforming and protected employees. (Act of congress to let an undergoing performer). Many have left the company for their competitors. Business is slowly following since Greystar is now too big ,clueless on what is going on, and does not care for their client. Don't let the shiny new properties fool you... they usually sell after year 1 or 2. As they motto says " When XXXX hits the fan... we just blame/fire the manager so we can keep the contact..." Good luck with HR if you ever have an issue- they always trump an RPM over the employee.

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.
