Pros

Work from home, Ability to work from basically everywhere is nice. If you show promise, you'll be rewarded. Taking PTO is pretty flexible. Month to Month work is fairly consistent, so it is easy to prepare. People are friendly. You will learn a lot quickly.

Cons

The overall experience will vastly depend on your manager and team. Training leaves a lot to be desired. Work-life balance is not balanced. Very high turnover numbers, which causes the remaining people to take on the work of the former employee long term or more often, permanently. Burnout is very common. Many times, people are so busy as, they aren't able to help when you need it.

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.
