Pros

Fully vested 401k after 3 years service. Remote opportunities. Many talented employees/co-workers to learn from. Great company for people who just want a job and have no ambition.

Cons

CBRE DEI initiatives touted do not align with employee experience. It's more of a transactional, box-ticking program than actual effort to value diversity, create an equitable and inclusive workplace. Employee engagement and morale severely lacking despite corporate claims otherwise. Tenure and education are not acknowledged or rewarded. There's no accountability for management. Management lacks genuine leadership skills and the courage to do the right thing despite an emphasis on "RISE values." They just go through the motions. It's uninspiring and unmotivating.

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.
