Pros

Very friend ly team who know how to work and play hard. CBRE provides a great support network for high achievers and there are endless opportunities to develop your career, via mentoring, external training etc etc

Cons

Very corporate. Some areas of the corporate real estate sector mean that's you are detached from real property and spend far too much time in the office. CBRE spread an incredible message about new working practices, however, carry very few of these on to their own employees.

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.
