Pros

Really motivated, intelligent, hard-working brokers that generate a ton of money and often get the highest end listings in the area, which are easy and fun to market. A global presence in the field which makes pitching to clients a breeze.

Cons

Management turns a blind eye to sexism and racism in the office, which was a daily occurrence. The brokers are allowed to walk all over staff members. This company seems very adverse to any risk, so they keep terrible employees in the office way too long. The biggest issue, however, is getting any answers whatsoever from corporate. After the merger with DTZ, there is no guidance on how to do anything involving corporate. Expect a 16+ e-mail chain with 8 different people asking what you need over and over again for something very simple, like changing a brokers home address. There are so many people involved in each little, minute task that you often don't get an answer or any follow-up, and expect to be berated by an impatient broker waiting for an answer.

Pros

I worked with some great employees. It was also nice that the employees I worked with understood my frustrations with management since they felt the same way.

Cons

I was very excited to start an opportunity with Cushman, but ended up being very disappointed. I had a horrible manager that asked me to do some unethical things. When I brought this up with the person over the properties and HR, I was completely ignored. I was made to feel like I didn’t matter and I shouldn’t be saying anything about it. Furthermore, I was treated poorly from that point forward. The company is very unorganized and upper management doesn’t seem like they know what they are doing most of the time. Getting a straight answer can be difficult.
