Pros

Opportunities to work hands on with clients are plentiful, office environment is nice, work life balance is generally in order, 3 weeks vacation starting out

Cons

Insurance coverage is not great especially considering the size of the company, no opportunity for flexible work arrangements, working environment almost depends solely on your manager (corporate rules out the window...), no tracking of hours for comp time of overtime pay- "it's all part of your expected duties compensated with salary"

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.
