Pros

Global company with good presence and aggressively expanding in all aspects of commercial real estate from leasing, buying, selling and consulting. So if you want gain experience in any aspect of commercial real estate this the place.

Cons

Growing to big to fast and like in many large corporations the corporate office is out of tone with the field office. Completely revenue and commission driven. Hard to break in if your are in the brokerage division.

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.
