Pros

If I must give a pro then it would be the experience itself. You have to experience the worst in order to know what it feels like to work with a good company and solid leadership. I enjoyed my work, the leadership was lacking.

Cons

The GWS Department is grossly unorganized and there is little to no support. When it comes to their contracts, they are very reactive instead of being proactive. Some of the worst leadership I've ever experienced in my career. There is poor communication across the board. I had wanted to work with CBRE for years. It was a complete let down.

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.
