Pros

It is the largest commercial real estate company in the world, so if you are interested in real estate as a career, it is a great place to learn the industry. In general, the people who work for the company are knowledgeable in commercial real estate and there are lots of opportunities to learn other facets of the real estate world.

Cons

It is a very large, public corporation, and as such, change happens VERY slowly. Also, public image and share holder opinions are often more important than what is best for the employees. If you are a broker, you are infallible, but employees are often treated as replaceable commodities. Not enough time is put into recruitment and education of employees verses brokers.

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.
