Pros

Very supportive working environment, facilities needed are well provided, great team work and friendly, encouraging colleges. Exciting work tasks varied in a wide ranges of property investment sectors, types of services provided to clients and meeting interesting high managerial level clients from around the world.

Cons

Stressful job, usually work overtime without extra-charges. A lot of paper work and reports are time costly. Below average payment and benefits. Great place to learn, not a long term place for your career.

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.
