Pros

salary isn't awful, bonus is nice, if you're a tradesperson it's a good company but wouldn't recommend for any other type of job

Cons

upper management is awful and doesn't care about the employees and is super clicky, only promote people if they have an "in" so there's a lot of very obviously unqualified people in their roles, they made people that work desk jobs go in during the pandemic and gave them a hard time if they wanted to work from home, they won't pay for any classes and there's no tuition reimbursement, will only hire people over qualified so the company is full of people over 50 that refuse to learn new ways

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.
