Pros
Pay was better than UT Austin, students usually are wonderful, and the staff are wholesome and committed to doing their best for the community. Benefits were pretty good too.
Cons
Leadership has recently made a lot of changes (specifically the Theory of Change). While I can see the vision, unfortunately there are a lot of growing pains and its incredibly disappointing to see people who have worked there for 15+ years to be pushed out of their roles. It feels like they are trying to make ACC more corporate. The chancellor Russell seems to be a good guy, but sometimes it also feels very performative. They are really trying to push a student first mentality, but that was never not the case and it feels like an excuse to pull back attention from the struggling staff and faculty. Values of "yes" and "joy" are stupid and performative. They should be byproducts and happen naturally rather than being the focus.
