Compare Aimco Apartment Homes vs Greystar BETA

Pros

We do the right thing…always! I am proud to say I have been with Aimco for thirteen years! Last year I was feeling the work load was becoming overwhelming and I was stressing out about it! Luckily I... had a dream job with another company drop in to my lap! It was a brand new ground up community, closer to home cutting my commute in half and a slight but not substantial pay cut. Well I left Aimco after 12 years of service! It was not long after this that I realized this new dream position was not my cup of tea! My day to day was very lax and consisted of keeping the office and clubhouse facilities clean, and really taking a back seat to all of the maintenance decisions being made. This made for very long days! It was at this point I decided I would not be staying at this “Dream Position”! I thrive on success and the difference I make in the lives of my fellow teammates and residents. I want to make or help make the decisions if I am the closest one to what is actually going on. Guess what.. I had that as a ten year team member at Aimco, however that ship had sailed. Around this time a past Aimco colleague had contacted me saying a position was opening, my first thought was nah, I just left 6 weeks ago! Well then I continued to think about what Aimco had done for me in the past and how they actually made me feel as a team member, and you know you just don’t see that everywhere! After making contact with Aimco leadership and having some phone conversations I was COMING BACK!! Not only did they bring me back with all the benefits I had when I left they even gave me a slight increase in compensation! Upon my arrival after the 10 week hiatus I felt reenergized and felt a different energy coming from Aimco! We truly drive innovation and change! I am sure anyone that is reading this has heard “ Build the Bench” yup we do that here at Aimco, we give everyone the tools and training to get where ever they want to go within the organization. However what I don’t think everyone realizes…here at Aimco we are LOADING THE BASES and the GRAND SLAM is right around the corner. We have a TON of talent working here at Aimco and invite anyone that is ready to invest in their career growth to look into us! If you are the type of person that thrives on results, productivity, success and at the end of the day that feeling of accomplishment you know where to go!

Cons

Well I have read some feedback about cons at Aimco and yes some are true, We do work weekends and holidays time to time, We do work some crazy hours at times, We do get calls in the middle of the... night, We do make crazy changes in process, We do at times make mistakes. However there is a key word here and it is “WE”! I just want to say this is WORK and that is what We do! People call Aimco home for all of these so called “CONS”
