Pros

Lots of guidance docs / forms and processes in place which make it fairly simple to be compliant.

Cons

The current management approach does little to motivate or reward strong performance. I often find myself addressing issues stemming from senior management decisions or inaction, rather than focusing on proactive work. Excessive bureaucracy and internal hurdles make it difficult to deliver effectively. As a result, there is limited scope for innovation or creativity, which is frustrating given my desire to contribute more. A senior manager advised that it is typically expected of coordinators to be in the role for at least a year or two before they would think about promoting. Regardless of skill set... So if you want a promotion sooner, it's seems the only option is to leave.

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.
