Pros

I greatly enjoyed all of my colleagues at CBRE - everyone knows how to work hard, but also enjoys what they do. I felt as though the management team was always available and really listened to feedback, and that my career progress was equally as important to the team.

Cons

I personally did not hold a brokerage license, so the opportunities for me were quite limited - I would have been able to advance to a specialist if I got my license but there aren't many places to move up from this position.

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.
