Pros

Very professional, lots of training for brokers. Can have a very flexible schedule. The team environment can be fun and great. Very relaxed atomosphere.

Cons

Can be tough to navigate, depending on the market you are in if you are a minority, or woman. Make sure you get connected to affinity groups and get support to be able to develop a book of business and be successful. Can be somewhat of a "good ole boys club" either you are in and get support until you make money or you are out.

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.
