Pros

The overall company will invest in the technology and trainings; benefit package was decent and clean work environment.

Cons

There were bias (mostly prejudice) moments, whether during hiring, promotions or special projects where it was known who would be the one selected. No proper support when needing to report issues and concerns, you'll be brushed off. They will eliminate positions politically and without notice, normally "justifying" it using budget as an excuse but hire yet another Senior VP with a ridiculous package. If you are okay being a number and eventually being walked on, this might be okay for you.

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.

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.
