Pros

I worked at the office in NYC - its a large company so great if you're looking for the infrastructure of a large. The office was a great location and easy to get to and from. I loved some of the people I worked with and couldn't stand the others. Some of the analysts were completely incompetent while others are future RE ceo's. For the most part, your senior managers are easy to get along with, communicate with and are fun people. There are a few stubborn ones that really suck but thats what happens when you work in such a large company

Cons

Some of the people were incompetent.

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.

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.
