Pros

Good-to-great company to work for with support for anyone to chose their career path within the company. Easy process to move between business lines and to apply to positions in other markets.

Cons

Some inconsistency within management. If you're luck to find a good leader, the support and mentoring is great. If you're unfortunate to not have a great leader, there are ways around it, but the company is slow to remove those who don't lead by example.

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.
