Pros

Branding; research; senior level broker talent

Cons

Incompetent Managers - they literally have no real estate experience and there are too many of them. Internal politics are real bad, if you're a good butt kisser though, you may do quite well. Senior Leadership is non-existent, just a lot of middle managers trying to cover their own skin. A previous reviewer hit it right on the head with...people outside of the business are impressed, but people within the business know the real deal....they also do NOT do things in the client's best interest, but for CBRE's best interest...not a good method if you want to last as a broker.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
