Pros

The company culture is a facade to hide the poor employment salaries, bonuses, raises and general conditions. Yes, you get parties and 5 à 7's and it may seem like all fun and games until its time to climb up the ladder and ask for what you deserve. They use the company culture to detract from the fact that carreer opportunities are non-existant when you are a young broker.

Cons

There is a culture of harrasment of all sorts that is well hidden and burried by the upper management. The upper management doesn't have the employee's backs, only the broker's who bring in money. It is an extremely toxic environment for young women - they will try to promote equality and diversity but it's all fake. Young women are treated poorly, with degrading and mysoginistic comments thrown at them daily. Innapropriate comments regarding their attire and how they need to dress are made frequently.

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.
