Pros

Nothing positive to say about the place.

Cons

Was given a 1990s Toshiba to work on - no monitor, no mouse. Was expected to look at data. Found a crummy old 1990s monitor and was better off than everyone else. Not enough work - bored. They use Lync to spy on you so you have to pretend to work even when you have nothing to do. Not allowed to help anyone else which made no sense.

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.
