Pros

*If you aren't on a brokerage team, you basically get paid to be/look busy; easy 'work' *Flexible work arrangements *Opportunities for progression if you are white and/or look good in heels (as several others here seem to have mentioned, as well)

Cons

*Go ahead and get a copy of the floor plans of each office (they store them on the shared N drive monthly - showing where each person is assigned to sit, by name) and then tell me that it isn't blatantly segregated. If that doesn't convince you, give TWC a call and see if they'll share a count of pending discrimination charges. *Efficiency is a threat to your supervisors and it will harm you *If you have an issue, HR is there to help you get fired with as little liability to CBRE as possible

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.
