Pros

Your experience will likely fall onto your account holder. In my time here all the CBRE staff, management, and coworkers, have all been fantastic. However, I've lost 2 accounts in 6 months due to bad clients. CBRE truly seems to care about us and fosters a healthy working environment with plenty of opportunities for advancement and additional trainings.

Cons

My only cons relate directly to the clients I've worked for through CBRE and have no bearing on my feelings towards the company.

Pros

Honestly? Not much. The vision insurance was decent, I guess. Truthfully though, there wasn't much.

Cons

Management's refusal to allow employees freedom. I routinely got praise from the client and hit the maximum score on my goals. If things weren't done "by the book", they were wrong. The health insurance was awful. Going to self-employment, one of the things that you hear is that you're going to pay a lot for health insurance. However, I'm actually paying LESS than when I worked for CBRE. When you work for CBRE, don't consider job security something that you're going to have. I saw two employees with 15+ years for the company get laid off, with zero severance and no option to transfer elsewhere, unless they wanted to uproot their families and move states for more work and a pay cut. This is the worst company that I've ever had the displeasure to work for. If you have literally any other option of employment, please consider doing that.
