Pros

Met some good people I enjoyed working with

Cons

Very low pay and didn’t consider its employees during high inflation change after treat us like worker ants and we helped the company peak profits in Billions range. High retention rate due to low pay, no growth/promotion, and bad management. Uses “entry level” title for jobs as an excuse to pay you very low even though the work you do isn’t entry level. Unhealthy work environment “good ol boys club”. If managers mess up it gets overlooked or blamed on lower level person. Wouldn’t recommend working longer than 6 months with the company.

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.
