Pros

Quick recruitment process - though now it makes sense why!

Cons

The structure was very convoluted and as a result the volume of work was intense due to the lack of accountability within more established teams. Every month end there were more responsibilities that were added that supposedly should be part of our team remit. There was high turnover within my section alone over a period of 6 months. It's the typical corporate environment you want to avoid. I've wiped it off my CV and after this review, from memory too.

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.
