Pros

CBRE has clear and well thought out plan in place to become a world class company. They are investing in the company particularly in technology to take advantage of the depth, breadth and scope of their integrated services. Leadership is well organized. Great emphasis on professional growth and development, workplace environment and culture.

Cons

It is a big company and daunting when first joining. Pick your path, engage mentors and work on your personal plan for success. This company will help you excel when you do that but don't expect it to happen automatically or with a passive attitude.

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.

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.
