Pros

Good opportunities for collaboration with others in the same role.

Cons

I was put on PIP without any attempt by management to avoid it by possibly having a productive conversation to get the job done as they would like it to be. This is an extreme measure and should not be taken so lightly by upper management.

Would NOT recommend working for CBRE

Pros

-Got a lot of experience quick in many different fields of sustainability. -Flexibility with hours and working remotely

Cons

-Not well staffed and management/client will expect that everything gets done regardless of how over worked/under staffed a program may be. -Outside hiring instead of promoting qualified staff- which leads to a high turn over rate. -Management takes advantage of staff (for example I was expected to spend 30+ hours of time training in the manager I directly report to, and manage my workload in addition to supporting the new manager with their workload) -Management enabled client in scope creep- saying that we should never say no to a client regardless the ask and the amount of time required. -Denied bonus despite not being able to provide reason/ or requirements to receive annual bonus.

Pros

Solid company, pay and benefits. Met some really fantastic hardworking people who were passionate about what they did. I would still be employed with them if it wasn't for the gross mishandling of the account I was on.

Cons

Be very careful in the interview process. Ask A LOT of questions about the account you agree to work on. Some are fantastic and others like the one I was on are not. High turnover on account, no one is honest and upfront about the dysfunction within the account. You walk you thinking "what did I just sign up for". Sadly HR was no help with numerous attempts of trying to rectify the issues or trying to transfer. The job took a massive told on my mental and physical health. No job is worth what I was put through.
