Pros

a lot of learning opportunities (free LinkedIn Learning, MyLearning (CBRE training platform), in-person training. A lot of structure.

Cons

Pay, 401 k, health care benefits aren't exceptional. If you want to obtain and retain the best talent you need to pay for it. Yes, you have a lot of 'perks' but at the end of the day, compensation is very important to employees, whether they openly admit it or not. There is supposedly opportunities to grow your career at the company. However, most of the people I have seen getting ahead within the organization is because they know higher ups/executives at the company, not because of their work. If you work on a client's site, you are screwed because no one sees your accomplishments and the quality of your work.

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.
