Pros

They’ll hire anyone with a degree. Decent salary for anyone coming right out of college and a good place to start a real estate career. Most employees are pretty nice for the most part. You might be able to work from home at times.

Cons

High pressure/sales feel. Don’t take this job unless you just need something to get you by for a year or so. No formal processes are out in place so everything is a dumpster fire. The training is a joke and there is no formal orientation and you are completely disconnected from the company as a whole. Coming from other successful big companies, this is the most disorganized place I’ve ever worked. There have been several times when employees have presented adequate solutions for well known problems, but they were not taken seriously and completely swept under the rug. It’s definitely an ageist, sexist, boys club, and there is almost zero diversity in this department, let alone the industry. Some managers here will coach down, micromanage you and nit pick you to the bone. The place is a revolving door and people quit left and right due to stress, and for much better opportunities. I would say the average tenure for any employee there is about 9 months. Also, Managers here have only worked at Cushman for the most part, so they really don’t know any better and are probably just as stressed as the employees they manage.

Pros

Your paycheck clears every two weeks and the brand has been around for 100 years. So at least it looks good on your resume to have worked here.

Cons

Way too much hiearchy and millennial women in their 20's and 30's with this lofty "global" title and that "global vp" title. Most of them have never even been outside of the US, nor do they speak a 2nd language. How can they be "global" anything?

Pros

A lot of good people work here, the food is free as well as other small perks associated with the Google campus.

Cons

For serving one of the wealthiest companies in the world in the most expensive region of the world the pay is unlivable. They will modify your job description to avoid observing your tenure and to justify hiring new employees at a higher base pay than veteran employees who are training them for the same position. Very demoralizing. Employees are taken advantage of to complete tasks completely out of scope. Management is discouraged to give above average reviews of employees to avoid paying higher yearly increases which is based on performance. The opportunity for growth within the company is minimal as they encourage hiring externally rather than promoting internally. HR is basically non-existent and all concerns voiced by employees fall on deaf ears and are not addressed amicably.
