Pros

Since its a large company, it would be easy to transfer properties if you ever moved.

Cons

This company is the worst property management I have ever worked for. I have worked for 3 property management companies with 7 years in the industry, and this was the worst experience I ever had. To start, they are extremely corporate based and company culture is horrible. This company doesnt see you as a "Team Member" as much as they like to preach this, they only see you as a number to make them profit. During the COVID pandemic peak months you basically had to pull teeth to have your office work from home. There were constant reminders that we still need to lease and prepare for reopening even though thousands of people were dying and losing their jobs. There was little to no effort in making sure the employees were healthy or taken care of. If you had to quarantine they made you use your vacation pay (if you didnt have enough vacation pay they would have you go into the negative). If your vacation pay was in the negative you basically will be working until you're out of the negative with no paid days off. If you leave the company for any reason they will deduct the hours you owe them during the COVID-19 pandemic and deduct those hours from your pay without letting you know. You're also lucky if you get your commission. During the entire time I was with Greystar it was like pulling teeth to get your commission. Managers hire people to put the work they don't want to do on the lower paid employees. Managers don;t know company policies and when asked about them they will "get back to you". This is the same with the corporate employees. Trying to get into contact with a corporate team member? Good luck! Corporate does no introducing themselves to new members, which is very alarming if you come from other companies that make corporate seem like family. If you're someone who values company culture and your personal talent, don't work for this company. It's all about money.

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.
