Pros

Good environment, laid back 80% of the time, additional holiday observances. Spirit Weeks, family oriented Alot of committees Jeans Days Remote access

Cons

If you want to advance it'll basically be ignored, with empty promises The people who have the jobs plan to keep them and are in no way interested in your personal progression despite trying to appear so and lets be honest, with the structure its not too far to go

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.
