Pros

I honestly can not come up with one. You get a check.

Cons

You tell someone one thing they change everything on a dime. Then when someone has a doctors appointment you reprimand the person? You promise training and there isn't any. You throw people under the bus. If certain accounts are so prestigious then why do you pluck someone off the street to run the show? Wouldn't you load the account with people that you know their track record? There is literally no support from anyone, you get in trouble for asking questions, asking lack of questions, not asking questions, talking to the customer, not talking to the customer, giving ideas, not giving ideas. doing your work, going above and beyond, just to name a few. I now understand what the people in Stockholm went through.

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.
