Pros

On the job experience. The opportunities to learn multiple sides of the commercial real estate business are endless. The company also provides learning opportunities like certification and accreditation programs that are excellent. The resources offered to employees are also extensive, mostly geared toward brokers, but usable by all.

Cons

Fortune 500 attitude and treatment toward most employees. What I'm speaking of is a culture problem. If you don't like the way CB does business don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. There is no consideration for differences of opinion, even if it might increase productivity, efficiency, revenue, etc. Seniority is all that matters (Seniority trumps ALL, and that includes Incompetence !!!)

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.
