Pros

For me the pros are the remote day program, they do a lot of outing for the employees. They have a laid back atmosphere regarding work attire.

Cons

The pay is low, people are pushed into jobs they don't want. Currently my manger does not have as much experience as I do on our client and he didn't want to be a manager, but they said he had to take the job. Working for someone with no management experience and less client experience is very challenging. They do not require current managers to go to management training but highly suggest it if you are interested in moving into management. Also, upper management will define a policy and not stick to it. I have had 2 people moved to different positions within the company after being in their position for less than 6 months.

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.

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.
