Pros

CB Richard Ellis is the largest commercial real estate firm in the world with every position available based on your interest and with the most resources and tools to help you learn your craft.

Cons

Large company with corporate politics which can make it hard to get noticed or get a promotion. Everyone essentially looks out for themselves.

Pros

Nothing, nothing. Run away from here. You are just a number company

Cons

Everything. Positive reviews don’t guarantee job security — you received strong feedback but were still let go. • Lack of documented performance concerns — no warnings before termination. • Unclear expectations — guidance during hiring (van movement not monitored) didn’t match later enforcement. • Limited transparency in decision-making — reasons for termination weren’t clearly tied to measurable issues. • Communication gaps between leadership levels — direct managers praised performance, yet outcome differed. • Effort not always formally recognized — early arrivals, skipped lunches, and cost-saving work not reflected. • Inconsistent policy application — flexibility allowed initially but later possibly used against you. • Rumor-based concerns — issues like tool suspicion not formally addressed or resolved. • Extra initiative not necessarily valued — using personal vehicle, travel offers, and vendor cost savings didn’t protect role.
