Pros

The best part about working at CBRE is your fellow co-workers, they're in the same boat you are. The benefits are also very good

Cons

Now the bad 1. Micromanagement-You will be micromanaged on every level even if you work nights and weekends 2. Management Team-Most insulting management team I have ever worked with, they will not treat you as an equal no matter if you're more educated and experienced than they are. 3. HR Department-I was assaulted by a supervisor while working at CBRE, they took his side (although he later resigned) New manager didn't treat me any better they were friends.

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.
