Great place for brokers. Not a good place for support staff.

Pros

Average company with average health benefits.

Cons

There's no support for anyone who is not a broker. This is a brokerage business. If you're a broker you work on commision. If you're not, you have a salary. There aren't any perks or benefits for support staff. There doesn't seem to be any way to move forward unless you want to be a broker. There's no limit to your earnings if you're a broker.

Pros

The majority of the people at CBRE are "good people" and if you can escape from the management BS and the constant changes you might enjoy it.

Cons

The company only thinks about money and its investors. People, with their individual needs and experiences, are quickly being marginalized.
