Pros

They try to bribe the 20 something’s with free pizza and cheap beer and wine once in a blue moon which the kids will love as it supplements their pittance of a pay. Not much of an incentive if you’re above 20 though. Fairly clean toilets.

Cons

170 people packed onto two small floors of a building, more people visiting the office each day so if you’re not in your desk will be used by someone else as not enough seats for rear ends. Apparently they regularly move people around so they don’t get too used to anything. Fairly entry level work for even experienced accountants. A lot of data input and rubbish slow systems that aren’t maintained by the company, instead they are client systems used by CBRE. Therefore they have no say in what system developments happen. Lots of so called directors swanning around thinking they are something hot when they’re not. Noisy and like a train station on a Friday night at teatime. Nasty HR and management staff. Also office admin interview accountants at the first round of interviews which is odd. Poor level of pay, about £5k-£10k less than the going rate I’d say, but they think that’s ok because they give away free fruit once a month. Glad I was only there a month.

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.
