Most Unethical Employer for which I have Ever Worked

Business Outlook

Pros

*If you aren't on a brokerage team, you basically get paid to be/look busy; easy 'work' *Flexible work arrangements *Opportunities for progression if you are white and/or look good in heels (as several others here seem to have mentioned, as well)

Cons

*Go ahead and get a copy of the floor plans of each office (they store them on the shared N drive monthly - showing where each person is assigned to sit, by name) and then tell me that it isn't blatantly segregated. If that doesn't convince you, give TWC a call and see if they'll share a count of pending discrimination charges. *Efficiency is a threat to your supervisors and it will harm you *If you have an issue, HR is there to help you get fired with as little liability to CBRE as possible

Joke of a company

Pros

They try to bribe the 20 something’s with free pizza and cheap beer and wine once in a blue moon which the kids will love as it supplements their pittance of a pay. Not much of an incentive if you’re above 20 though. Fairly clean toilets.

Cons

170 people packed onto two small floors of a building, more people visiting the office each day so if you’re not in your desk will be used by someone else as not enough seats for rear ends. Apparently they regularly move people around so they don’t get too used to anything. Fairly entry level work for even experienced accountants. A lot of data input and rubbish slow systems that aren’t maintained by the company, instead they are client systems used by CBRE. Therefore they have no say in what system developments happen. Lots of so called directors swanning around thinking they are something hot when they’re not. Noisy and like a train station on a Friday night at teatime. Nasty HR and management staff. Also office admin interview accountants at the first round of interviews which is odd. Poor level of pay, about £5k-£10k less than the going rate I’d say, but they think that’s ok because they give away free fruit once a month. Glad I was only there a month.
