      Pros

      Good, friendly, casual environment. Lots of opportunity for learning and growth. Some good morale events. Doesn't require a CPA. Opportunity for up to two remote days a week.

      Cons

      It's an endless cycle of doing pretty much the same thing each month. Everything revolves around the deadlines you need to meet for getting reports out to clients. Sometimes REMs are unresponsive and unhelpful so it eats into your time and you have to try and get information from them to correct errors. I don't like the cubicle set up. It's too wide open and you can hear everyone else on the phone and talking to each other all day. Luckily they do allow headphones but it's still fairly uncomfortable and doesn't feel like you really have your own space.

      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.
