Pros

Good client portfolio, on time pay checks, unlimited PTO

Cons

1)Annual merit increase is a joke, 2.5% if you performed above and beyond. Huge gender inequality when it comes to salary. 2)Health insurance is awful especially for such a large company. VERY HIGH deductible insurance for the overall poor coverage. 3)No room for growth at all. Favoritism and chaos throughout the management. People are worked until they burnout or quit, and those who remain are unhappy or actually unqualified to work elsewhere! 4) No management of the client. Whatever client wants, management acts super reactive to provide, regardless of time, money, impacts, etc. No long term solution thinking nor proactive approach whatsoever. 5) The level of inefficiency is shocking.

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.
