Pros

Pay is commensurate with experience. Raises are flat 3%, which isn't great, but better than nothing. Benefits are decent and 401K good.

Cons

Micromanaged to death with targets to reach each month, daily huddles that only tell you what you are doing wrong, mandatory tracking and logging of all work completed - like every minute on the clock you have to account for what you are doing in the form of a work order or training etc. Its freakin ridiculous!!!

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.
