Pros

The opportunities for exposure to multiple corporate accounts where CBRE contracts services allows the employee to expand on experiences, professional growth, and builds adaptability.

Cons

The company is a corporation -- if you want to work for a large corp this review is not applicable -- where employees are another number in the system. The requirements for many processes effecting work satisfaction and professional growth are directed from headquarters which has a cookie-cutter style, with little room to adjust to different team styles.

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.
