Pros

The only pro is casual Fridays

Cons

-They don't pay enough as compared to the kind of work they make you do -Actual timelines of the project delivery are never shared which results in uneccessary late nights -The senior management does not care about professional growth of employee- repetitive work - high attrition rate - which is never addressed and is a very discouraging factor - illogical promotion policy - mediocre issues are given more precedence than actual quality of work - innovative approaches towards projects are most often suppressed and not given proper platform which results in you losing appetite to work - give repetitive work and do no keep in mind your skill set and the kind of work that you have desired them to give you

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.
