Pros

Fellow CSA's are a great support for each other Good benefits Some flexibility in hours

Cons

Management rewards bad broker behaviour Allow brokers to mis-treat support staff Limited support for Admin's & CSA's Terrible salaries for CSA's - you have to fight for raises (and they'll fight you on it) Culture of snitches - everyone tells on everyone else (we're adults, right?) Admins & Support Staff feel unheard and unsupported, they feel like no one is there for them, that it's only the brokers who matter.

Pros

Honestly? Not much. The vision insurance was decent, I guess. Truthfully though, there wasn't much.

Cons

Management's refusal to allow employees freedom. I routinely got praise from the client and hit the maximum score on my goals. If things weren't done "by the book", they were wrong. The health insurance was awful. Going to self-employment, one of the things that you hear is that you're going to pay a lot for health insurance. However, I'm actually paying LESS than when I worked for CBRE. When you work for CBRE, don't consider job security something that you're going to have. I saw two employees with 15+ years for the company get laid off, with zero severance and no option to transfer elsewhere, unless they wanted to uproot their families and move states for more work and a pay cut. This is the worst company that I've ever had the displeasure to work for. If you have literally any other option of employment, please consider doing that.
