Pros

Best manager I could have hoped for Some really nice people to work with - mostly support staff Pretty good benefits After work gatherings Our specific office was more laid back than most offices (from what I have heard) Pretty good pay for my position

Cons

Very corporate...no surprise here. Sometimes it felt like upper management (not in my specific office but for my department across the state) was just coming up with annoying projects and things to do to waste everyone's time. Lots of fluffy stuff. Lots of older rich men Not enough work to do sometimes (which can be nice but then it can be so boring that you go crazy)

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.
