Business Outlook

Pros

They paid well. Although they took away our bonuses, salary increases and did not honor any promises made before or after hire.

Cons

They allowed idiots with multiple complaints against them remain as managers. They allowed everyone with experience leave and wont renegotiate leases so cheap customers don't have to pay fairly for services paid for with blood, sweat and tears. CBRE just doesn't care about their own employees enough.

Great brand and breadth of market coverage

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company with high performance standards, clearly the dominant player in the U.S. for real estate brokerage and transactions services. Very broad service line offerings with great management expertise across the board. Highly professional executive leadership.

Cons

Business model is brokerage based which doesn't support the teams that provide corporate services particularly well (FM, Project Management). Limited career development opportunities in some corporate services careers. Still a bit clubby at the top.
