Great opportunities if you can get noticed by management.

Pros

The training opportunities are great for project managers! Human Resources recently introduced an online Project Management training course geared specifically for CBRE's industry and clientele. Even better, the training applies towards credit with the Project Management Institute. Not a bad deal! Company pays for certifications, training and industry specific memberships, such as the USGBC.

Cons

Being a large company, it's easy to get lost or disappear from the management radar screen. While I'm pleased with the level of trust provided to me to complete projects, it would be nice if management checked in once in awhile to see how a project is going. When the client is giving you rave reviews about your performance, it doesn't really help your career if your senior management is unaware.

Great place to get your feet wet and explore other divisions but it all depends on local leadership

Real estate manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The opportunity to learn and participate in various areas of the real estate industry along with tremendous learning opportunities. The company is the largest real estate services provider in the world with an extensive network of offices that will provide the oppuruntiy to relocate while staying within the company.

Cons

Not very flexible in terms of handling business or very direct and/or personal in their approach. It is the CB way or no way. Most of the learning opportunites are online and they are not supportive all the time in terms of personal growth and sharing of ideas/information. Depending on which service line you are involved with and whose group you fall under there may not be alot of chemistry and cohesiveness. I would not reccomend being middle management, rather upper management or an employee. Also the paperwork is insurmountable. There is literally a form for a form. Not to mention the ever changing procedures as well as guidelines that do not make for a consistently productive environment.
