Pros

Compensation… for those at the top

Cons

Long hours, exhausting work expectation. People work incredibly long hours, but accomplish very little. The goal seems to be to find the next person to assign failure to. I would have given a negative star to this company, unfortunately, Glassdoor doesn’t provide an option where companies undermine their people and burn them out. If your looking at this company and you feel its a good fit… it probably will be for a short time. Unless your willing to spend half your time looking for someone to assign failure to, and constantly waiting for the next person to make that person you. You might want to look elsewhere. This company is like a drug dealer, they give you a taste (good salary), then they incrementally corrupt your soul. I have seen people leave this company and need 6+ months of down time to get their head on straight (if your lucky).

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.
