      Pros

      Great compensation and definitely opportunity for advancement.

      Cons

      The company in incredibly relentless in pursuit of market share, which has everyone at all levels working around the clock. 12 hour days, 7 days a week, for months is not at all uncommon, and expected. Zero tolerance for error. Salaried employees do not get a set amount of paid time off, instead they claim you can take what you need. In reality this is meant to keep you working as much as possible. I never saw a single person take more than 1 week off at a time, and I would be shocked if anyone took more than two weeks, even at senior levels with people there for more than 10 years.

      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.
