Pros

I was hired as an associate accountant and have to say it has been an amazing 6 months so far. The managers are so helpful, everyone is friendly and will help with whatever question you have, the two week training that was provided really eased me into the work, and even when starting they don't assume you are a pro after the two week training, they guide you on everything step-by-step. You still do have to work hard and digest a lot of info though. So many changes have been done to my team due to a bunch of promotions, great opportunity for growth.

Cons

The only problem is pay isn't that hot, but you can grow and if it really that much of a concern, having this company on your resume will give you a great edge.

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.
