Pros

- Great place to learn the business - The hours aren't crazy demanding, but if you put in more hours it will help you get noticed - If you do well and show you are competent you can easily get promoted - Have different career path options from this position (Brokerage, continue in research, Management, financial analyst, etc.) -The people in the office are super nice and easy to get along with

Cons

- The management style is generally very light (which could be a pro), but you can kind of do the bare minimum and people won't say much. But then you wont progress career wise. -Doesn't pay much

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.

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.
