Pros

It's a job that pays money

Cons

No on-boarding or tools necessary to do the job. Unrealistic expectations for job performance. Pays approximately 30% below market value for similar jobs directly within the life sciences space, in order to make margin due to being a third party service provider. For the one year I've worked for the company, they have yet to retain a person in the same role as me for more longer than two months. Out of 3 open positions, 1-2 were open at any given time. I was asked to shoulder the extra work by working excessively (70+ hour weeks) and consistently, with not even a token reward. The job comes with no bonus and an annual increase of < 2% even for top performers. Long story short, no one wants this position; I'm in it due to a unique circumstance and am in the process of moving to a company outside of CBRE. The CBRE management on the GSK account does not care about its people and has drove some to exhaustion, alienated others, and fired key contributors as part of a "workforce harmonization" effort, despite being understaffed to begin with (and of course expected the remaining few workers who are already exhausted/overworked to pick up the slack).

Pros

I enjoyed working for CBRE for 8 years. My fellow co-workers were very kind and helpful. Getting access to training materials were very easy on the website and employees from other locations were always willing to train you in areas that you are weak. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Cons

Getting a promotion is difficult. If you are great in the position that you are in then they will not help you move on to a higher position. You also work 9hrs per day instead of 8hrs.

Pros

-Great teamwork -Nice to have meetings every two weeks -The Dallas Office downtown is a nice location to work from itself.

Cons

-Horrible Management -The manager never spoke to lower level employees if it wasn’t anything work/assignment related -Salaries only benefit upper level management -Business practices were inconsistent -We were told to put the business/other employees needs before ours, thus limit personal/restroom brakes -You are literally a slave -Half the time the supervisor was lost if you had a question -High Turnover rate
