A company Full of Drama False Promises and Lies !
Maintenance Manager (Former Employee), California – April 26, 2013
Pros: monthly employee breakfasts
Cons: long hours, no comunication, high employee staff turn over.
I Worked for this Company for two years. They promoted me to Maintenance Manager from a Tech Position in the first six months I worked there.The General Manager and Regional Vice President were-personal friends and would make rash Judgements and accusations on Staff Members and make Rude Remarks about them. During Student Move Outs In June I was forced – more... to work double shifts for weeks at a time with no compensation taking advantage of my salary based pay . I received little training or support from my Supervisors . The Benefits were the worst in the Industry. I was terminated with out explanation I am only sorry I wasted two years of my Life with American Campus Communities . – less

Watch out
Corporate Employee (Former Employee), Corporate – April 15, 2013
Pros: perks
They do not let you understand the reality of what it takes to do your job and are very critical. No job security here. If your boss doesn't like you, you're out. No loyalty to employees unless you are a vice president on up. Long working hours with little to no appreciation.

Great Temporary Position
Operations Assistant (Former Employee), Denver, CO – April 11, 2013
Pros: easy and fun
Cons: temporary position
Aquire keys to apartments that day. Make sure work area is prepared for workers to begin by assessing area and checking to make sure all personal belongings were removed. Made sure the construction crew cleaned up before leaving. Locked up when done. Posted reminder notices for the next day. Turn in keys. Everyone was always nice to work with.

Great experience but very demanding!
Community Assistant (Former Employee), Prairie View, TX – February 19, 2013
Pros: free rent!!!
Cons: very little pay and time demanding
Working ACC was a great experience, especially as a college student. Management at the time was new and very weak, but the team managed to pull through a successful school year. When applying for this job, keep in mind that it is very time demanding and a lot of responsibility.

Best
Community Assistant/ Leasing Agent (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – January 6, 2013
Pros: schedule
One of the best jobs I had as a college student. Everything about the job was flexible, like scheduling and work itself. I learned a great deal of administrative experience. I made a lot of friends, and most my best friends I worked at The Edge. It was home and work for me. I absolutely loved every minute working at The Edge.

Neverever – January 22, 2013

Let's start out with the pay! Awful They except so much from you...but in return give you pennies and dimes for pay!! I worked for this company over 5 years. My husband passed away while I was working for this company. I was told that I had a life policy for him. After several months of them searching.They decided to let tell me that I didn't have the insurance. But, two weeks before he died they called to tell me the exact amount of the policy!!! Run.....these people are awful!!!

Low pay/ way too much work
Leasing (Former Employee), Texas – December 18, 2012
Pros: some perks
Cons: work load, hours, compensation
I am a current employee and absolutely dislike many things about this company. For starters- the work load is entirely too high for the compensation they offer. The company has its basic benefits but not much else. No bonuses, no commission, no raises and a bunch of drama.

I do enjoy the structure of the company and appreciate most of its morals, but – more... good luck advancing in this company. Once you become good at what you do, they won't want to move you. – less

Good college job, nothing more
Community Assistant & Leasing Specialist (Former Employee), Minneapolis, MN – December 6, 2012
I worked as a Leasing Agent for two years in college. The perks were awesome as a student - rent compensation, free printing, free parking, etc. However, management always gave off a "we can always replace you" aura in the office. Leasing is very difficult in Minneapolis when there are literally hundreds of options for students and our work ethic was – more... directly compared to how many leases we were able to generate. – less

WATCH YOUR BACK
Maintenance Mabager (Former Employee), GA – October 19, 2012
Pros: alot of overtime
Cons: called in at all hours of the night they wont protect or back you over residents
Former Maintenance Manager-
This Co does not care about you are two faced and you are just a number to them. They will not protect you or have your back against residents. They would rather collect rent from a dangerous renter than evict them. They are a public traded co and care on for the bottom line without care for you.

Excellent Company with emphasis on professional development
Business Manager (Former Employee), American Campus Communities – October 17, 2012
American Campus Communities is an awesome company that specializes in student housing. Their foundation, from my perspective, includes their ability to groom employees and develop them into professional members of their organization.

My experience with American Campus was second to none and I will be forever indebted to them for the experience that – more... I received as an employee and a person! – less

A good transitioning temporary job
Maintenance Clerk (Former Employee), Fort Wayne, IN – September 14, 2012
Pros: seeing many students daily
Cons: it was too short of a job!
I helped keep things organized in the office. I did some data entry both on the computer and in written forms. I was the go-between person between the students and the workers who came into each apartment to fix things (in the bathroom, the kitchen, etc.)

Great Company- Student Worker
Community Assistant (Former Employee), Starkville, MS – September 12, 2012
I worked as a Community Assistant for two years in college. They worked around school schedules, and the skills I learned working there have made me marketable for many other post-graduation positions with other companies. It was a great experience, and management really seemed to care about their workers. It was a fun environment, and there was always – more... work to do. If you have the opportunity to work there, I would highly recommend it. The pay was monthly compensation. – less

Horrible wok place
Maintence Manager (Former Employee), Philadelphia – September 1, 2012
Cons: corporate disrespect of employees
I was a maintenance Manager, the higher ups ( corporate) want you to work yourself to death. Then when you can't give anymore they kick you to the curb. They foster hatred among management. They have no respect for their employees and don't care, they are very willing to fire you or force you to quit. Employees are a dime a dozen to them. My recommendation – more... look some where else. – less
