Good Pay/Benefits, No Opportunity for Growth

Administrative assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As an admin assistant in the San Francisco area, the pay was decent, and the benefits were fairly comprehensive. They also provided free commuters checks which were a tremendous help since I was commuting daily from the East Bay.

Cons

Absolutely no room for growth as an admin. We never received a raise for cost-of-living increase, (due to the economy) and it was often feast or famine as far as consistent work. More often than not I had to find things to do to keep myself busy.

Terrible Waste of Three Years

Client services coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company, seems impressive to others, global brand, opportunity to relocate within the company easily, pro-environmental policies.

Cons

Huge workload. You have to answer to every broker as though they were your supervisor - not fun having 35 bosses at once who all want THEIR project done first. I was doing all the work of a position two or three promotions above me with no recognition or compensation. There was no supervision by the Operations Manager, who really didn't seem to do anything at all.

Overworked and underpaid

Senior accountant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are new as an accountant, you definitely will get your hands dirty in learning almost everything there is to know about putting together a financial report. From journal entries to funding requests to specific clients, it will allow you to grow as much as you want, depending on how much effort you put in.

Cons

As you need to put effort into your work at CBRE, it is also critical to find out who that effort needs to be viewed by. Political hierarchy is very apparent on every team in the Bloomington office, so work wisely.
