      I worked at CBRE full-time

      Pros

      Ability to work from home (on rare occasions)

      Cons

      Rampant male chauvinism, no respect for any staff that have no desire to become an agent, and brokers are empowered by management to treat their staff inhumanely. How many young staff members have to run to the bathroom in tears before things change?

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, some really nice people to work with if you get on the right team.

      Cons

      High turnover rate from support staff, with good reason. No opportunity to move upward, and culture is behind the times. Management prioritizes agents, provides little to no support for assistants and support staff.

      Pros

      The company policies are great, benefits, some pension plan after 1 year. Some very good people.

      Cons

      I don’t know about senior management but my immediate mangers are very unprofessional and don’t follow even company policies. Treat people very poorly and sometimes racist(one guy even had to quit) They also like to save money for their bonuses by cutting on tool supplies and sometimes even on work that shouldn’t have been done by you but only by contractors. I guess they need show that they are saving money ...
