Pros

The work was rewarding, especially when we were busy. My co-workers were amazing, and we truly became a family. I knew many of them even before CBRE took over the contract, and that camaraderie is what I will miss the most.

Cons

Despite the positive environment among coworkers, there was a complete lack of communication and empathy from upper management. It often felt like corporate representatives were just reading from a script, showing no genuine concern for employees during layoffs. There’s a significant disconnect between upper executives and front-line workers, with greed driving decision-making that negatively impacts morale. Additionally, I faced challenges with a supervisor whose behavior went unchecked for far too long, which I believe may have led to my denial of advancement opportunities. The lack of support and accountability in that situation was disappointing and added to an already difficult work environment.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
