      Company with potential, but too cheap to realize it - Anonymous employee CBRE Employee Review

      Pros

      The financial rewards are there, but so are the risks. As with any sales organization, you are basically getting just a shell... a phone, a slow computer, and some pens (if you are nice). It's up to you and the people you know to get the most out of it. That said, you can do well there.

      Cons

      Longer hours, somewhat cutthroat. They penny pinch in every corner possible. It's a bit of a ponzi scheme, as i guess many of these places are, where the old guy takes the big cut while the younger guy (or girl) does the work. Tale as old as time.

      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.
