      Pros

      I have worked for CBRE for 6 years. One of the good things I noticed about CBRE is its strive to become competitive in the Technology arena. I have met the CEO in person. His personality was motivating and uplifting.

      Cons

      One of the downsides to working for CBRE from my personal experience is as a Black woman I have had challenges when applying for Management positions. Me like some other Black women in the company - I can only speak for Digital and Technology Department quite often find ourselves having to file complaints through HR to be treated fairly. Although CBRE considers themselves to be a Diverse company, it seems to not be evenly dispersed when it comes to Blacks vs other minority races. Promotions are usually based on the buddy system.

      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.
