Pros
Fantastic work-life balance. As a project manager, I get to work from home. CBRE provides me with all the tools, equipment, resources I need to do my job effectively. My manager doesn’t micromanage me and trusts/allows me to get my work done remotely. Management wants to see us grow and develop. They approached me and asked if there were any certificates I want to pursue to help me become more of an expert in my field. I gave them my proposal and they offered to reimburse me for my expenses without hesitation. I also get the opportunity to interface with upper management both on the CBRE side as well as the client side. This gives me the opportunity to showcase my talents and get on the radars of important decision makers. When I interviewed, the hiring manager advised me that we can receive up to 10% yearly bonus for succeeding in our metrics for the client. I didn’t take it seriously at the time, but he wasn’t BSing. We have been successful and have received the full 10% each year.
Cons
Some managers can be more controlling than others. Benefits are mediocre.
