American Campus Communities reviews

Okay but for real, it feels like a cult - there's this really weird, eat, breathe, sleep ACC and if you take time to have life outside of work, you essentially get made to feel as if you are a total slacker. And at the end of the day, you are just a number. They had MASSIVE layoffs during 2024 and a lot of people were affected both in corporate and on site. Remote workers in corporate forced to come back in office, a lot of business happenings that don't get openly talked about (making them seem really shady and leaving teams in the dark with what is happening), teams getting used by Blackstone to enhance other holdings in their portfolio (on top of their actual day to day jobs). Just overall became a weird weird vibe. I quit because at the end of the day, any work I put in, any strategies I came up with, any long hours or weekends I worked, went very unnoticed and unappreciated. It may have just been my boss sucked at bossing but regardless, it made for a miserable time of overextension leading to burnout and quiet quitting. I felt soooooo relieved to leave.

Growth is limited, Budget cuts and layoffs with new ownership. Low pay. The staff is looked at as a number and a warm body at this point.
