Pros

Support staff are awesome, with a few exceptions with some embedded staff in a broker team. If you shine, you are given more opportunities to work on special projects with increasing complexity and responsibility.

Cons

Management. If you are promoted to management, beware the backstabbers, insanely immature brokers who treat you like you are an idiot even though your job is to support them (and do their grunt work). Egotistic, mysoginists that are homophobcx xenophobes and have narccisitic personalities are the loud mouths who complain (behind your back, of course) to management, and when they are proven wrong they just dig in. Senior Manager has no backbone and is a yes man to the brokers, HR is a joke

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.
