Pros

having benefits is always a pro.

Cons

everyone who said you have to be in a clique to advance is correct!!! working weekends sucks and noone cares. write ups for things that is everyone's fault. regionals are heartless. slight undercurrent of racism. they shift you around from place-to-place without a care. managers gossip about employees instead of leading and helping them. some days you wish for a family member to die so you can get away from them for a few days. trainings are inept. too bad they don't care about their people. they will always find a way to make it your fault. some of the most rude, nasty, entitled managers and residents i have ever seen. if you do not pass the secret shopping they will target you until they can fire you. all they care about is numbers. you might need anti-depressants to make it through the day. their values and pillars are smoke and mirrors. i gave it 5 stars so it would not be hidden in the feed. they will always make money because corruption is as corruption does. they spend a lot of time competeing with better companies and waiting for their leftovers. many days you will drive home crying trying not to hurt yourself or others.

Pros

For being so large, they were actually a really good company to work for. Everyone (at least in Arizona) was positive and great to work with.

Cons

I feel like a lot of the cons come from policies and decisions made by the property ownership, not from Greystar. This will vary from community to community.

Pros

Benefits, housing discount, time off if approved

Cons

Micromanagement, inconsistent communication regarding expectations, and a workplace culture that could feel overly focused on monitoring rather than coaching. advancement opportunities appeared to be influenced heavily by relationships and internal networks. At times, it felt that who you knew carried more weight than performance, qualifications, or contributions. This created a perception of favoritism and made career growth feel less transparent. I also observed inconsistent accountability across leadership levels. Certain employees seemed to face significantly different standards than others, which could be frustrating for team members who were working hard to meet expectations. I would have appreciated a culture that emphasized consistent standards, objective performance metrics, and more transparent promotion decisions.
