Pros

Pays well, good people to work with on property level, nice property, support from sister property, very good training coordinator, fun annual conferences, decent benefits

Cons

No work-life balance. Understaffed. Unrealistic expectations. So many conference calls - be careful asking a simple question because it'll probably result in a conference call on your calendar which will only set you back time you could've spent working. Won't approve overtime, so extra work falls on salaried community manager. Regional management was critical, condescending, unsupportive, demotivating, and unapproachable. Emails from the boss late at night. It doesn't matter if you're leasing like wildfire and how much time that absorbs from your staff - you are still expected to meet their unrealistic expectations and deadlines. Some duplicate reporting (one report for greystar and another for the owner). Budget doesn't make any sense which creates extra work to get approvals which shouldn't be necessary. Owner didn't allow for a p-card, so had to use cash which is quite inconvenient in the digital world where most purchases are made online. When I turned in my two-weeks notice, regional management was very unprofessional about it and insulting.

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.
