Pros

Having the ability to work anywhere in the world. I like this company because it gives me the opportunity to grow, even when I am not ready for it! Also, I do not feel trapped in this position or job because there are always opportunity within the company to work elsewhere or in a different field. You just have to get qualified or show that you are capable of doing the work. I have see people with humble beginnings start at this company and get elevated to high positions of importance because this company believes in putting the most talented in the right job.

Cons

Very rapid pace business that operates as the client and world changes, almost daily.

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.
