Pros

Very Good Pay. Great benefits.

Cons

Web calls take priority over taking care of the actual client needs. 3 supervisors in 12 months. Annual review was rushed and no on paper feedback during the performance review. Annual review was done by supervisors that did not see day to day responsibilities of the associate on site.

Pros

Decent benefits including a discount program on hundreds of companies. CBRE's notoriety is a huge pro in itself, especially in real estate. Personally, I think our CEO is great - I'm confident with his leadership. I have had generous raises twice now - I'll give them credit where it's due!

Cons

This role is really limiting in terms of growth and you have to accept that you're at the bottom of the foodchain in a very hierarchical company. You're going to work with brokers and they have the reputation of being very difficult to work with and rightfully so. Even the nice ones can be cut-throat at times. In general, it is a lot of old money which means a lot of privileged people. Also, the tech is awful - there have been numerous times when I simply couldn't work because my computer would crash or restrict me from doing my job. Seems like a silly issue for a billion-dollar company.

Pros

As far as big corporations go, they seem to have a vested interest in employee well being and work life balance. I think pay is usually above market

Cons

If you work in the GWS division, you are at the whim of your customer. Being a vendor service provider for large corporations is constant battle of continuous improvement.
