      Pros

      I can only refer to the site I was on. You can do whatever you want. 4 year degree is a guarantee for promotion. Lots of training available. Very nice people. Overtime available. Management is hands off. Close working relationships.

      Cons

      I can only refer to the site I was on. You can do whatever you want which leads to anarchy and a hostile environment. Anything less than a 4 year degree, you will be a grunt for life regardless of your knowledge and skill set. Tons of online training for equipment you don't even have. Nice people that shouldn't be in a leadership position . Rotating shifts/on call. Management doesn't understand what is important or how to improve day to day operation. If you are not close/related to the boss, good luck.

      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.
