I agree about the poor advancement opportunities. I worked there as a student for over 4 years. They purchased a new software and being cheap not to purchase the whole program, they went over budget. They then took away all the students/temps benefits and cut students hours with very little warning. We should not have been penalized for their budget issues. They would have employee events and we would NOT be invited to any but we worked just as hard as the employees and half of them didn't cost them a dime but we were treated like nobody's. One of the temps was there for almost as long as I was, she worked her buns off and volunteered to come in on weekends to help out at times, stay late, came in early and never got recognized for her dedication, how can a company keep someone that long as a temp and not hire them permanently? Luckily I found another job who appreciates me and I will never work for them again. I also heard they are only hiring temps so they don't have to pay benefits regardless of how long they need help, and they have cut their retirement benefits so people who has been there for 30+ years are retiring early b/c they will get the same retirement amount if they stayed the extra 2, 3, 4, etc years. They are penalizing their employees also who make the buisness all b/c they tried to save money but ended up spending more. This company would much rather have less employees and work them like crazy than hire enough people and get the job done right and on time. Redic.....

I came here as a temp in 2008 for a 6-8 months assignment. I started in the call center, answering anywhere from 200 calls a day. I liked being a CSR because I love people and resolving issues. Because I was so good at researching and resolution I was promoted to the billing department as a Billing Clerk. II been here since the conversion of a new billing system and has learned so much. How to work as a team and come together to get the job done. My co-workers are fantastic and my manager is the best on a professional and personal level. We go on depaetment luncheons quarterly at the companys expense to show appreciation for our hard work. This is overall a great company to work for. Unfortunitely I have to move on due to going on 3 years here and not yet a full time employee, I'm still a temp and see no changes.

For me, it was a very good place to gain some experience, but I was always ready to jump ship in case my work began to interfere with my education. For the most part, it was a good experience, but the office is too political - too corporate. Nobody was willing to help anyone outside of their department, and gossiping was rampant. If you're looking to work here, I highly suggest that you just keep your head down and do your work, but be friendly! You'll never know when someone needs something to brighten their day.

I loved this place. Only reason i left was because i got laid off. My position was cut and it was far for me to drive to their second location. Management was really nice and understanding. They will help in anyway possible. Benefits are also great. The time i was working there my health insurance was paid by the company because i was single with no kids which is awesome.

Electric company which many don't like due to the costs. Once you get involved and know what you are doing it gets better. The management is not very helpful but the employees are awesome! The pay is very low and they keep temps on for years with no way to advance.

I was employed as a member service employee and I helped customers with new accounts, payments and transfers of their electrical services.  Job was very easy and laid back.  If there was a permanent position available and it was offered I would have stayed with the company.

Not unlike many industries, the electrical distribution industry is constantly evolving.  This impacts everyone and makes keeping up very difficult.  The great part of the company is the community involvement that employees are able to have as part of their job

people are very polite 
i learned many computer skills 
always has fresh fruit out and a starbucks coffee machine 
you will definitely get plenty of exercise working there ( large building) 
also has a gym for employees 


Greystone is a reputable company.  Most people come and stay until retirement.  Mostly everyone works there. Everyday is a different day.
Greystone could do better with advancement opportunities.

I dont feel it is worth discussing, they tell you in the job description what your job will entail however with any job there is more to be expected. If you like being on the phone all day in one spot and never being able to look at your phone or read a book then this is the job for you
