Pros

Big company, seems impressive to others, global brand, opportunity to relocate within the company easily, pro-environmental policies.

Cons

Huge workload. You have to answer to every broker as though they were your supervisor - not fun having 35 bosses at once who all want THEIR project done first. I was doing all the work of a position two or three promotions above me with no recognition or compensation. There was no supervision by the Operations Manager, who really didn't seem to do anything at all.

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.
