Pros

I currently work Part time, 20 hours a week. Very flexible around College and allows me to take on a really good understanding of the industry. Great foot in the door, and am able to create really good relationships. The staff at CBRE are very helpful and there is a large web of support for all elements of the CRE industry

Cons

It doesn't pay as much as I would like, but it is a great foot in the door. Sometimes difficult to voice your opinions to management. Dictated to a certain degree by higher powers in regional HQ.

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.
