Pros

I am 3 years with CBRE. The only pros I can say is salary is paid on time.

Cons

1. Ever changing process in the claim process, lots of paper work and many layers of approval required. Basically lots of red tapes and bureaucracy and they don't inform you when they are changes. So you can imagine the frustration when they make you go through the additional process and waste of your time. 2. Ever changing organisation restructure. 2.5 years and I have seen many department and senior leaders changes. It is not planned and badly executed, staff are not properly communicated, just flying emails. There is no town hall and lack of employees consultation. Staff do not know which department they belong to and change of reporting officer is common. And the reporting line is not related to business line, meaning the reporting manager may not know exactly what the business is about. You can imagine the difficulties in annual performance appraisal. 3. Staff working in outsourced accounts are earning revenue for the company but they are not valued. CBRE do not provide annual increment or bonus, it is dependent on the contract with client. When the contract is over, you lost your job. Basically working here is like a pawn. 4. Person professional development is severely lacking. There is no career path to say about, staff need to find and build their own opportunities.

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.
