Pros

I have nothing to share that is positive.

Cons

If working at a company where your manager can make up whatever negative comments they want to say about you and your performance, even when you've gone above and beyond to exceed all expectations and your coworkers speak incredibly fondly of you, look no further. I've never been abused by a manager in the workplace before working at CBRE. If you want to be devalued, abused, and threatened maliciously CBRE is the workplace for you. What I imagine it must have been like working for a bunch of N-zi's, the experience was brutal, toxic, disturbing and my manager may very well be suffering from borderline personality disorder.

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.
