Pros

Company culture is great. Company offers lots of great free training Company is always looking for ways to utilize technology to stay relevant The company is very inclusive lots of women and people of color working within the company.

Cons

Sometimes you can get stuck in one position. It can be difficult to work your way up in the company. Management has their obvious favorites. Although staff and employees are very diverse, upper managements is still very much dominated by white men. In staff positions, if you get put on one team, you can get stuck working on that one team with no option for movement to other teams. You literally have to find new departments to work in if you want to grow even then it may just be a unilateral move.

Pros

-They are hiring like gangbusters right now. It is extremely easy to get a job

Cons

-Very low pay for the accounting industry -Work is dull and mind-numbing -The benefits package is very poor. 401k match and medical/dental are laughable. Very little vacation time and there is no alloted sick time. You are viewed as lazy and a burden to your coworkers if you take vacation time. -Many managers have no talent in managing people (and have no interest in changing). They just wanted the pay raise -Very little professional development opportunities -Upward mobility is EXTREMELY slow. Promotions are often based on popularity rather than performance -My manager was new and didn't know the systems (and was very slow to learn). Other seniors and managers were not willing to step in to help -The "point system" of rating property difficulty is totally inaccurate.

Pros

Basic benefits and salary package.

Cons

Management is not involved with staff or staffing issues. When approached about unethical practices they looked the other way. I was treated unfairly constantly being told my position was unnecessary from my immediate supervisor. I was bullied until I had no recourse but to resign my position to the manager who was causing the issues. No one from management ever contacted me. I find this unfair and I find it unprofessional. For all of the ethics training we were required to complete I cannot believe they acted in this manner. Shame on you CBRE.
