CBRE - a good place to work if you want to be a broker

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A leader in the real estate industry.

Cons

Inefficient infrastructure and lack of vision to bring large projects to fruition. Often similar initiatives are done redundantly and repeatedly without allowing the time or resources to be completed, when the cycle begins again. There is also generally a lack of respect and commitment to internal support resources from management. While on the one hand this is sensible, since the sales force generates the income and the support force is an expense, it does not make it an enjoyable place to work unless your career path is oriented toward the brokerage, etc... side of the shop.

Business Outlook

Pros

The potential opportunities that you have and the connections which are developed withing the company can be excellent. Their network and certain staff can be leveraged to provide truly excellent services to the clients. In some markets the knowledge and services provided are absolutely top rate, which connections which go to the highest levels of business. The brand name will open doors for you, although this has been declining in recent years.

Cons

The lack of communication and cooperation between offices and business lines. The company seems to take pride in hiring below the industry average, and some of the middling management are reluctant to employ new staff which may be more talented then they are. Senior management seems a bit too divorced from the day to day workings; while this is to be expected, they should have more regular interaction which would help them to understand the depth of feelings which some of the business lines have towards the middle management.
