Pros

Taxi home if working late, salary always paid on time, good exposure, clean work environment, laptop provided, desk provided, on-site gym. Good culture; no theft among employees, staff are friendly and helpful. Many meeting rooms to handle multiple clients.

Cons

Most things concerning salary are at the discretion of the management; promotions are rare; bonuses are not uniform and are again at the discretion of the employer; education support is limited to special certificates (ACCA and CPA); for lower cadre jobs, medical is limited per year (no dental cover, no dependants); no staff loans except as agreed upon by management; there are no female partners or directors - managers only.

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.
