      Pros

      -The people that you work with - Get to work from home 3 days out of the week - Management is pretty flexible. CBRE as a hole is a great organization

      Cons

      - Cut backs on budgets since we are seen as a cost. - small raises - No promotions, not a place to build a career at this point. - Really heard to transfer out of the department. - Favoritism is big in this group, most of the managers came from a different organization and brought their own staff with them.

      Pros

      Hours but nothing else in my book unfortunately

      Cons

      I was one of those people who read all the reviews and still said "oh those people must have been negative and weren't good at their job". I was convinced the job would be what "I" make it. Not the case. Management is clueless and has no desire to learn. There is NO- I REPEAT NO- training whatsoever. If you're lucky you will shadow someone for a couple of days and then you're on your own. That would be okay if there was any type of structure to CBRE's accounting processes but there is not. They do not have a uniform structure for their financial reports, filing of various clients' documentation, etc. Everything is all over the place and management could care less because they don't do anything but sign off on what the accountants do. Management doesn't actually have to know how to do the work of the accountants they supervise at all.

      Researcher: A good first job in commercial real estate

      Pros

      You will get a lot of exposure to different aspects of the real estate business working for a leader in the industry. You will learn your local market well and start to understand how the business works from a broker's perspective. If your ultimate goal is to get into brokerage, you will have a lot of exposure to different teams and will be able to see if one seems like a good fit. If your goal is to stay in research, there are a lot of opportunities within CBRE. Research isn't the sexiest department, but if you work hard and take the role seriously, you will get noticed.

      Cons

      A few brokers may use you as their personal work assistant when you are really there to serve the entire office. Brokers tend to keep lease/sales details vague which sometimes can makes the data you work with unreliable.
