Great Co-Workers, But Corporate Disconnect is Frustrating

Anonymous employee

Pros

The work was rewarding, especially when we were busy. My co-workers were amazing, and we truly became a family. I knew many of them even before CBRE took over the contract, and that camaraderie is what I will miss the most.

Cons

Despite the positive environment among coworkers, there was a complete lack of communication and empathy from upper management. It often felt like corporate representatives were just reading from a script, showing no genuine concern for employees during layoffs. There’s a significant disconnect between upper executives and front-line workers, with greed driving decision-making that negatively impacts morale. Additionally, I faced challenges with a supervisor whose behavior went unchecked for far too long, which I believe may have led to my denial of advancement opportunities. The lack of support and accountability in that situation was disappointing and added to an already difficult work environment.

Opportunity to work with some knowledgeable professionals.

Cons

- Low Salary: The compensation is significantly below industry standards, making it challenging to meet the cost of living. - Merit Increases: Any salary adjustments are negligible and do not keep pace with inflation or living costs. - Nepotism: There are numerous instances of favoritism where relatives and friends of higher-ups are given preferential treatment, often at the expense of more qualified employees. - Poor Treatment of Staff: Brokers frequently treat staff poorly, with little respect or acknowledgment of their contributions. - Management Issues: Management is often unresponsive to concerns and fails to take meaningful action to address issues, including poor treatment by brokers. - Discrimination and Favoritism: Instances of discrimination and favoritism are not uncommon, creating an unhealthy and demoralizing work environment. - Toxic Work Environment: The overall work atmosphere is severely toxic, marked by hostility, lack of support, and pervasive negativity.
